Here are a couple pics of my most recent projects: I did the whole front suspension, steering, and brakes which included New Steering Rack, MM Steering Shaft, Tie Rods, ball joints, control arms, wheel bearings, Caster Camber plates, struts, calipers, rotors, stainless steel brake lines and polyurethane sway bar and end link bushings.

Other project was new aluminum radiator, 3.8 Taurus electric fan, and DCC FK-35 fan controller, and blue silicone hoses.

The fan is plenty big I think, plus the shroud covers almost the whole surface of the radiator, and with my mods I won't be heating up too much, that radiator alone should keep that engine ice cold ;-)

I like the GT40 heads but I'm thinkin about a set of AFR165's. when I'm ready I'll sell you those heads for a good price

Really? I'm from Denver well now anyway, I'm still a New Yorker at heart. The heads are in great shape and maybe have like 20,000 miles on them.

because I get something and then read that something else is better and then I want that! It's a sickness I tell you! LOL
In any case I probably won't be getting the heads for like another 2 months if I decide to go that route and since you live close by feel free to come on by and go for a ride in the car while the GT40's are still on. I also might switch cams to if your interested in a low mileage E-303 also.

Actually the specs on both those cams are real similar the Stage one has a little higher lift on the exhaust side. I'm in Aurora just off 225 and iliff.
