So I have been noticing that more and more 4.6L cars are turning up. I was looking at replacing the 2 core brass in my Stang with an aluminum one from the bone yards. Does anyone know of FOX interchange units?
 
I'd say it's entirely possible to convert a Fox over to a coolant tank setup, as long as you have a place to put it. In fact it would probably cool better that way too since it would circulate more coolant.

If you end up doing it, be sure to post about it.
 
I'm not 100% sure but i believe the tank does need to be higher.


Also, i can get a used radiator for like $35 at the local pull and pay. I've thought about this myself but haven't really looked into doing it for real. My car doesn't get hot anymore since i'm running the Mark VIII/Tbird fan.
 
I would study the car you take it out of and take as much of the coolant system as you can. Find out what direction the water pump goes and make sure you match the flow so everything is as matched as it can be.
