    Replacement 351w Options

    Hey all, I'm a classic owner (66') with an old 351w that needs to be replaced, and I'm trying to get a feel for my options. It occurred to me that it might worth getting a roller-type 351w, but I'm not sure which years are 'good'/'best' or what to look for. My goals/situation: I have a 351w...

    Engine Options (socal)

    Its appearing like my 351w is done... i was having a lot of trouble keeping it running and it broke down a few months ago. Brand new oil was almost black, and found lots of shavings on my magnetic drain plug. Took the oil filter off and found a couple large shavings, and also tested them to be...

    Brakes How Do You Tell What Year Granadas You Have?

    Just took the 66 to the shop to get the brakes done. Definitely need bleed pads and the rotors may need replacement too. It has ebay-sourced granadas but I'm not sure which year (dad didn't write that down when he bought em 12 years ago). Is there an easy way to tell? Thanks!

    Dyno predictions game :)

    Soooo... thread resurrected from the dead.. with good news!! I needed my choke adjusted recently and took it to a dyno tuning place near my work in Orange County. Since the dyno above I haven't made many changes to the engine. Added a late 80s serpentine setup, an electric fan, fatter...

    Swapping From 98 4.6l To 99-02 4.6l

    Brothers 98 GT 4.6L broke a timing chain, and he was told that's likely to have resulted in piston damage. My dad wants to swap in a new 4.6L. I have a few questions. Few questions: 1) Is it true that a messed up timing chain will have likely resulted in internal component failure? I'm not...

    How many CFM needed for electric fan?

    Having some issues finding a fan that will fit & do the 2500-3000 cfm I think I'll need. I have this radiator: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-380419-3 The 'flat', finned part (i hear this is what they are talking about when they say 'core' lol) is roughly 20" tall by 19" wide. The...

    How many CFM needed for electric fan?

    Yeah, planning on electric only. Was originally going to use a clutch fan that I picked up in the junkyard along with the serpentine setup (alternator, p/s pump, a/c compressor, etc), but there isn't enough room between the engine & radiator for those. My stock fan appears to rotate the wrong...

    How many CFM needed for electric fan?

    Cool (no pun intended lol). I also got an oversized Summit/northern radiator... its about 26" wide. Its their 'triple pass' variety too, supposedly a little more efficient. Had to trim battery holder for it. I'm thinking a 16" puller plus maybe a small pusher. You saying yours is good in 100...

    How many CFM needed for electric fan?

    is there a place to get one of these fans... without going to a junkyard? i went to one for most of the rest of my 3g swap and it was... well, expensive adn miserable. and i ahve a feeling when I fire everything up half of it won't work. Summit has replacement Taurus fans for like $60, but...

    How many CFM needed for electric fan?

    i'm surprised at the amp ratings on some of these fans.. 20-50 amps (!) my home a/c doesn't take that much. I am swapping to a 3g alternator.. not sure if its an 85 or 130amp model (whatever the divisions are). I'm also planning on running a stereo. Will this create problems?

    How many CFM needed for electric fan?

    Is it worth running a small pusher fan outside, maybe switched so I can just flip it on when its hot?

    How many CFM needed for electric fan?

    Did a serpentine swap and need a new fan. Figure I might as well go electric since space is somewhat constrained. How many CFM do I need? I'd assume more is better but are there any fans to avoid? Setup as pusher or puller?

    Need a new radiator, '66

    summit 2-row aluminum cross flow race radiator, universal at 22.5" wide and 19.5" tall is $140. Little thinner too. How hard would it be to fab the mounts up? Is there a matching shroud?

    Need a new radiator, '66

    a GM forum asked me to check if a Mark VIII fan would work. A lot of people there were recommending running both an electric and a flex fan until I showed them how much space there is in a 66 mustang engine bay :o

    Don't really care one iota about originality. Just want it to function.

    Need a new radiator, '66

    Any more definition on what constitutes 'big' and 'small' rows? Where's the tipping point? chris66 - Definitely going to check to see if I can squeeze a 20" radiator in. There are definitely a few inches on each side of the stocker i'd like to use. Did you modify the mounts at all?

    Need a new radiator, '66

    Thanks, helpful post :) Do you have a link to a radiator (or radiators) for my car? A friend who builds restomods down south recommended this: http://www.mustangsplus.com/xcart/1965-66-Champion-4-Row-Aluminum-Radiator-Staggard-15690.html Its not crossflow, has 4 rows instead of the 2 for...
