Been using all my free time lately to get this project finished. Just waiting on a radiator to get here and finding the correct hoses.

Tomorrow i'll get the plug wires run and hooked to coil. Ordered the engineered cooling products radiator in a 26" core and a shroud from summit. Shouldn't be too much longer.

Bend a piece of wire or coathanger to form the bends you need. Take it to the parts store and ask if you can look through their hose inventory. If I recall, my upper was a Ford Ranger part #.

Looking good!I bet this gives you the itch to drive it also.Will you run the plug wires under the pipes?I used some 2 piece wire separators from the auto parts store.

I think my crossflow on my 517 used a top hose from a 5.0 Lincoln Mark 7 if I remember right.

Might want to re-think the flex fan and go to electric pullers. Rigid/semi-flex fans are big HP killers. In fact Dulcich and Fryberger did an informative EngineMasters episode on it on youtube.

Gonna take this in steps. Oil cooler then electric fans then new 2 row 1.5"/ row radiator if needed. More than likely i will spend the rest of the summer figuring everything out.

You may have to make a tab that holds the wires against the engine and have the header bolt hold it.The good thing is you have aluminum heads with a sealed header bolt hole.

All went well with the plug wires under headers. Had to wire tie them back away from headers. Plugs are easy to change on dr side, but pass side is a bit difficult.

Will removing the valve covers help you reach the plugs on the ps?This helps with getting to mine.

Not really. I have to remove the pressure regulator from the inner fender, than i can reach up under the #2 tube to get them. Not bad, but more effort involved than with the dr side.
