I have it mocked up now with a factory 20 inch fan and fan clutch. I have about an inch of clearance between the front of clutch and the radiator core so I'll probably order a shorter clutch from Hayden. I might also drop down to a 19 inch fan just for some extra clearance around the shroud. Other than that I think it is a go. Where did you locate the fan shroud? footbrake N/A SB 408 Scamp 10.10 @ 132 street/strip 73 Duster 340 street strip 12.79 @ 105

That is a factory Cordoba fan shroud mounted on a Cordoba radiator. All stock stuff.

Never used a CVR electric water pump but it should fit if the electric motor isn't too big. Thanks Andy for your reply! I will be checking out your web page when you start selling these.. or will you sell them through Mancini and/or Hughes? Thanks again! /Tom

The bumper brackets came back looking like brand new. I was going to get this stuff powder coated black but now I'm considering just shooting these brackets with clear since they look so good.

I should probably take a class or something but sometimes it's more fun to pick things up here and there.

It is a 10:1 pump gas engine with a hyd roller cam. The engine made 600 hp at 5900 rpm and 580 torque at 5800 rpm. The torque curve has a bit of dip in it since the torque at 3200 rpm is 571. So saying the torque peak is at 5800 is true, but a little misleading. Not sure why there is a dip in the torque curve, something isn't happy between the cam, intake and exhaust system I suppose. But 600 hp should be enough to put the car in the low 10's if it hooks up so that is fine with me. I didn't prepare the car to run faster than that anyway.
