Today's project has been moving the radiator forward enough to clear the stock 4.3 fan. I did remove the a/c condenser but I think I've got room to put it back in with some mods. I also got the factory v6 tach to work with the carbed v8. Obviously its off but with thst working i can use the factory fuel pump wiring to work with my low pressure electric pump.
Did you decide against an electric fan? They can be quite efficient at cooling while not taking up much space. Will you be getting a larger radiator for your V8?
I noticed that you deleted the fan shroud. I learned the hard way that fan shrouds can be super nice to have when my old 68 Mustang used to heat up before I installed the one that had been missing for years.

Hey all its been awhile! Life and family have kept me from my builds but I'm trying to get back on track! The purple jimmy has new to me new wheels and tires. The 44 inch ground hawgs were dry rotted to the point of not holding air for more than a day so it got a set of 40x13.50x20.

Although, and you know what I'm going to say, hopefully you can get some "real" tires on it soon and swap out those puny ones!
