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.

 

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.

 

Looking good.

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!
