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.

Tight squeeze!

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.

Still may run electric fans but I had the stock 4.3 fan. So far I'm into the entire build less than $300 lol. If the stock rad doesn't keep it cool enough I will go with an aftermarket aluminum. The stock shroud will need to be severely modified so I plan just to fab one up. Just one more thing to add to the list.
