    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    Here is a picture. I ended up having to go with the head gaskets that Ford puts in the new Boss Crate engine. The Felpro 1011's would have the same problem the 9333's did.

    Stereo work

    Those look great. Do you think the kick panel speakers would work with a manual transmission? I've been thinking about doing the same thing.

    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    My leak was coming from the 9333 head gaskets. They did not fully cover some of the water passages and allowed coolant to leak out. I will be swapping out to 1011-1 Felpro's on Wednesday. My builder couldn't believe he missed it when he put it together. He will be back out on Wednesday to...

    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    Thanks for the tip! I am unlikely starting the car this weekend. I put on the lower radiator hose and started to fill the radiator. Got about 1/2 done and heard it leaking on the garage floor. It turns out that something is not right with a freeze plug (or something) on the passenger side...

    which wheels gunmetal or chrome?

    :drool:That sounds like one hell of an engine you are building. I'd love to get updates on that as it goes in there. I also agree on the gunmetal wheels.

    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    Well it is almost done. I need to fill some fluids, get a lower radiator hose, bleed the brakes and then I should be ready for a drive! Timing the thing should suck. There is so much on the front of the engine I can't even see the timing pointer. Any suggestions% I think I may use a small...

    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    Here are a couple pictures. As you can tell the clearance is very tight but I should have enough to put on the belts. I also have a picture of a bracket I designed and had water jet cut. It uses a Saginaw pump and should work great with my Steeroids rack.

    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    I had to water jet a bracket for the PS pump (got it back on Friday) and now I need to get another stainless bolt to bolt the bracket on the engine. I need to get that on before I can put the radiator in permanently. I can post some in process pictures but have been waiting to show you guys...

    Aluminum radiator advice

    I was looking into Griffin and Be Cool radiators in the past month. I almost purchased a Griffin until I found out that they are bonded rather than welded together. I don't know if that makes much difference but I have heard of more than 1 story of Griffin radiators failing. I ended up going...

    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    He cut me a helluva deal on it. $750 shipped with the special stainless overflow tube, temp sensor bung welded in on lower DS and the sensor installed. I got a substantial savings over standard costs because he is a buddy of my step brother. I guess he had about 7 cars in SEMA this past...

    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    The fans pull 6 amps each. I am not sure if they pull more on initial start up or not, I assume they would. I have two coming on at 180 and two come on if I reach 195. I trimmed the radiator support last night and the radiator fits like a glove. I have about 1/3" clearance between the...

    whats the difference betweem gm and ford saginaw box

    I have both of them at home. I have one I just picked up from a Ford Van, 80's vintage. The other on is standard GM issue. I'll take a look this evening to see if they look the same as far a mounting points go. I could not answer the question if there is different flow characteristics...

    KRC Pump w/ Factory A/C

    I am working on a similiar problem right now with my car. I am running a blower and wanted to relocate my alternator to the drivers side. I moved it to mount on the head (where the AC compressor is normally) and am mounting a Saginaw pump below it. I am using a march bracket as a sample but...

    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    I got an update today on the radiator. He was having a hard time getting the shroud and fans to the depth we needed but that is now done. He is now working on the overflow tank hose (stainless tubing). I asked him to send me some pictures before he ships early next week. I'll post the...

    12V switched power source in 1968 mustang

    Couldn't you just take a wire from the "I" post of the starter solenoid? Ues an inline fuse and it should be good. :shrug:

    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    Well I ordered a new radiator a couple days ago. It will be a cross flow with both inlets and outlet on the ds. It will be a 4 fan setup with a shroud like the one in my picture. The fans will be from Spal. I am having a temp sensor bung welded in to control 2 fans. The other two fans will...

    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    The new fan will be as wide as I can go. That should be about 25.5". That will take me from the air inlet box on the ps to the overflow tank on the ds. I should have about 1/3" on both sides. My old radiator cut it while I was moving but creeped up at stop lights. I hope with the high flow...
