I have even less room so I made my fan a pusher and it is in the front instead of behind the radiator. the "cool" ( no pun intended) part is it is not seen in engine compartment

Re: Stable Mates

Aside from my Big Slick, I also have a couple of other Fords that I enjoy driving from time to time. First is a 56 F100 big window truck known as the Flying Purple People Eater, it has a 71 Boss 351C backed by a C6. Second is a 64 Falcon Sprint convertible, 289 Ford top loader four speed http://i25...
