Default Electrical

So when i get this motor to put in the car i still need to buy all the accesories for it like a/c, water pump, power stearing pump, etc etc.... Is it best to go all electric including the fan for more hp or what? The reason i wanna buy new and not use my old stuff is because i want to find some chrome stuff to add on for looks. Any suggestions or comments on this area?

If you go with alot of electric powered stuff. Make sure you put in a good hi-amp altenator. And as for the chrome covers and stuff for the accessories You can find alot searching on the internet.

Is this a street car or street strip? Elect. acc. do free up hp by reducing frictional hp loss, but create a bigger drag on the charging system. They also tend to create bigger probs when trying to trouble shoot.

yea gow ith all MSD. my car is a drag care but is my daily driver. i run everything electrical except my water pump. like someone stated before its a littel harder to find you problem but not really if you know what your car is doing. for a street car it may not be worth it but performance wise yea id do it. takes strain off your engine, not a whole lot though. but if you are going for looks too then go for it, its not really something you will regret anyway
