Well I got it driving again... well sorta I will explain after but here are some pics of my current rad/fan setup
It's a 94 Ranger 4.0 rad, I am using a single core right now just to make sure it is good for fit and what not then switching to an ebay aluminium one, the fan is one from a 90 Dodge spirit trimmed to fit into the rad. It is super narrow which is why I use them so you get lots of clearance. I also am running a 93 Tbird serp setup which is the same as the 94-95 mustang which means it's really short and close to the block
Then for a fan controller. I am using an Ebay fan controller, the Super Fan Controller 3 by Violence lol. Works great my only gripe is that it is in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit
The almost driving part was I had just started dailying it again when my starter died. Since I have nothing but starter problems with this thing from day one I just assumed I didn't ground the starter turns out I did and it was just a dead starter... Now normally that isn't a big job however since I have my frame brackets welded in because I didn't use or have access to factory mustang ii v8 frame mounts or motor mounts I made it so 69 302 mounts would work. WHICH MEANS I can't just take the starter out the easy way and with my long tubes it doesn't come out the bottom either so I have to take the solenoid off the starter. I have the mini starter installed but after screwing around with that for a day I just figured out the easy way to fix it by just undoing my tranny mount and jacking the back side up then I have just enough room to jam it through the other way. SO since it is a holiday here today I gotta wait till tomorrow, then back to dailying
