Hello everybody,I am in the process of swapin out 5.0 for a 351 svo motor.I have a D-1 procharger for a 87-93 so I am swaping all the brackets timing cover and pulleys back to 87-93.I just put the front cover and water pump on the engine today(its still out of car)and boy does the fox body stuff look big.I am wondering if anyone has done this and if I will run into clearance problems with the radiator.The timing cover is thicker and the water pump is longer.All the help I can get will be great,Thanks

You might run into clearance issues with the accessory brackets since it's a tight squeeze already. I'd look into picking up the bracket for the Procharger for the 94-95 model, so you can remain fairly headache free. I'm moving this to tech also.

The procharger for are years runs off the serp. belt.I did not want that due to slippage problems.So Thats why I went old school.

If you are using the fox water pump cover and fox water pump with the stock 94-95 fan you will run into clearance issues. If its just the radiator without the 94-95 fan your good.
