Hmm, I had clearance like that before I upgraded to larger rad. But more importantly Mike, is that a 40's model Ford next to your stang?
lol.. that was from the Turkey Rod Run in 2000 so I don't remember. Had to sell the car when I divorced the ex shortly thereafter.
You need to look at Nick and Scott's cars. They will want to make you burn your car and start over.
i hope it will work with the right belt,maybe a tight one idk.....the tuner told me to leave the box out,said be will deal with it,so i didnt hook it up,i have brand new fpr,msd retard box and trex fuel pump still in their boxes...lol
I saw this post but it was so far back in the thread that I wasn't going to mention....
I just wanted to point out that while the car is moving, the car should not/does not require any fan whatsoever. The idea is that the cooling system that you mention is really the part that needs to carry the load. I think with your approach and your current cooling system setup that you might be trying to use a fan to make up for a deficiency in the rest of the system. When you're under way in "high rpms" that cooling fan should not be much of a factor at all. If your temp is spiking when you're running it out, then I would suggest that you need something more than a fan.
Just some thoughts I had as I was reading through.
This is not usually the case, the standard pulleys have worked on more than a bazillion blower installs that I've done over the years on these cars. There are some instances where you need to get creative with belt routing or tensioner placement but the motorsport p/s relocation kit when eliminating the a/c works 99.99% of the time with no issue. When you get into taller deck height motors, goofy alternator brackets and things like that you will run into a few small hurdles but even those are not hard to overcome
