Look for some of you're ideas on my nite edition... hopefully.
don't forget, i have built and designed (with drawings) every suspension piece on my truck. actually i have a set of shock hoops already bent up and ready to go, just need to make the engine x-member. so if you need any of these parts let me know.
as far as cooling goes, it seems like it was working pretty well. however, i definetly need dual fan with a shroud because it would slowly start creeping up, and i wasn't doing anything too hard with it. and then, like a dummy, i put the 5.0 (that i am going to build as a race engine for my 2000 f150), into the bed, and it rolled, barely bumping into the radiator. it didn't damage the actual radiator, but the plastic mounting tabs cracked slightly, letting a small amount of coolant start to leak. so it will be out of commision for a few weeks until i buy a new radiator. let you guys know more then.
thanks for the good words guys. i will be starting a new thread soon on the front end build for my 2000 f150. I just got my shipment of 100' , 2''/ .120 wall DOM. And also, like I said before, my J/Y 5.0. I also ordered a Miller XMT 350, MPA package, for my fabrication business.
