I think the fenders could be rolled easily enough to accept the tire/rim, better now before the paint. They are 245-45-17 and are the rims are the ones you see in all of the Mustang catalogs (torque thrust D's). They are supposed to be the largest size that will work on a 5-6 without pulling out the welder. I plan to make a fender roler as soon as I can fine a nylon wheel. I have rolled other fenders and was able to move them about an inch without damage and taking them off. Good thing I have some Blue paint left if I screw up.

 

i wish someone would of told me that before I decided to replace my 200 with a 5.0.

 

Lookin good, lookin good!

 

very nice! I've got the same valance waiting to go on mine. can't wait!

 

looks good. the front bumper isnt my cup of tea but the rest looks really nice

 

Ok, I have a question about the fan. I installed a 1970 radiator in my 1967 coupe becuase the original 67 radiators had the outlet on the wrong side (in comparison to my 351W block) and I believe the 70 had +2" surface area. I was able to squeeze a 14" (I think thats what it was) on the front as a pusher, and will later add a 16/17" puller and shroud.

The instructions said use x wire for positive and y wire for negative (for standard puller!) or reverse wiring for puller. So, I did reverse wiring. But, the instructions also said something about you had to remove the fan blades and put them on backwards. My father touched the wires in reverse fashion on a battery for a second, and even though we didn't touch the blades, I felt it throw air onto my hand placed behind it. So, we didn't see the point of the blade-reversal, and it didn't look like it would have been easy to take the blades off.

Do you think this would have any effect? I don't see why it would say to reverse the blades, if it still threw air?? It's mounted now, and I really dont want to have to cut the straps,buy new ones, tear the fan apart, potentially break something, and fiddle with fitting it again...

The only thing I can think of is if its a "S" blade or has a unidirectional fan blade on it. If you turn it over, the "S" would be backwards and may make it move air better. For me, I wanted something to cool down the engine bay (fiberglass hood) after engine shutoff and a secondary means of cooling. I don't expect it to run much. May have to look at the instructions with this unit and see if it says anything about reversal.

 

It does has S-blades, and thats the only thing I could think of, perhaps they are meant to only flow 1 direction. But, like I said, we tapped those wires on a battery and it instantly blew on my hand. Didn't let it get it to full speed though, so I didn't feel the full strength of the flow.

I think I plan on having the larger puller as the main cooling fan since a shrouded puller is better anyways (so I hear), and having the smaller pusher as a secondary unit for higher temperatures. I will have them both on separate adjustable thermostatic regulators...

 

I wanna be your wife.

 

maybe if you could become a size C atleast... B just aint gunna cut it :P
