Just wanted to stop by and say hello! its been awhile! Sorry I haven't been posting much. I was out of work for a bit due to the major tech layoffs In CA but took some time off to enjoy the car and travel before I found work again! 
so far, Im done with my 69 coupe and just enjoying it! now Im bored...so I am now looking for another 69, but this time an FB or mach1 keep your eyes peeled if you hear anything f/s. 
wish i could post pictures of the coupe, but I think pics uploads are still disabled. 
seems the site slowed down with traffic a bit, Hope everyone is doing well!

Here's a link on a how to post pics here. As @Ridge Runnersaid, it's like using the old PhotoBucket site.
 

Welcome back, Happy New Year to you too. Good to hear from you. You have to host the pictures on a different sit like Flickr, then copy & paste them here. That is what I do.

no, I don't think that would be a problem, unless you had a mechanical fan with shroud.
I also see you have a grill cover to help redirect air to the radiator which helps a ton!
I have a Dual Contour Fan with out AC setup but the fitment is some what close to yours. it could be either Alternator not producing enough amps for your e-fans or could be your e-fans are fubar and not pulling enough.
most cars that are fully loaded with modern electronics, including Dual E-fans and AC will use 140-200 amp alternators. Im not sure what brand fan controller/relay you are using, did you configure the fans to turn at at a certain temp? if you didnt do that, it will use the default setup.
I have the Dakota Digital Fan controller and relay kit and I can set temps via phone. My single fan will turn on at 195 and turn off at 185, second fan will turn on at 210, off at 200 and fans will shutdown when Im going 50 mph to let air through the fans.
 
 

I was running the stock 8 when I had my old 393w stroker, I was putting down 365rwhp 400rwtq. it can take the power, just don't put a sticky tire on, unless you are racing. 
if you are that dead set on going with a ford 8 and want posi, send your old one or get a new rebuilt set here: https://8and9inchfordrears.com/ plenty of ppl used him and had no issues. just go with upgraded spline to 31 and upgrade the axles and you'll be set. 
 
The reason I say save up for a ford 9, its because thats what I did, I didn't want to pay twice if I wanted to go bigger, I rather set it and forget it. 

I put down 453rwhp 525rwtq with 3:50s with a TKX (68OD) behind my 427w stroker. At 65mph I'm around 2100-2300rpm, under 60 Im at 1800-2k rpms with ford 9 3:50's. 
if you have the 5 speed already installed, go with a ford 9 w/ 3:50s and go 31 spline trutrac, thats what I have and its a fun car to drive, good  rpm pick up for street and highway.
Otherwise, stick with the stock 8 until you upgrade. no need to invest in a ford 8 when it cost a few hundred more to go with a ford 9.
 

I am using Master Cylinder# M1929 with my Bendix Booster#6945.  Available at NAPA.  NAPA also has the Midland style booster.  Brian

We have seen many versions of how to do this over the years. I have compiled as much of that information into one document as possible, covering 1965-70.
Every year except 66 has two types of charging systems; one with an ammeter, and one with an alternator charging light. The 66 only has an ammeter.
In this document there are two charging system wire diagrams for every type; the first diagram shows the stock wiring with a 1G alternator. The second diagram shows the 3G alternator and the new wiring. This way you can compare the two and make sure you get it right.
Most forums don't allow uploading of large files, so I parked several useful documents on Google Drive. Using the link below, you have free access to all the documents in this directory: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10FqYlsGT1XXr8B5TCF9WAASkU4vdPtuJ?usp=sharing
Look for “3G Alternator swap onto a classic Mustang”
The document is 18 pages, and I would have included the “Contents” page below IF PICTURES WORKED.

The way I did it on my 69 Coupe if you look at the underside of the hood there is a recess for the hood pins about the size of the round trim plate that screws to the top of the hood. I drilled in the center of that recess from the underside, closed the hood then marked the center of the hole in the hood on the radiator support & then drilled the holes in the radiator support for the pins & then install them. Here is a video that could help.

I went with these guys. Very responsive on the phone and the service. They turned it around within a week and it came back very professionally finished and packaged. I haven't installed it yet, but I'm confident that it will work as advertised.

Thanks for all the great suggestions and advise.

yes, I have this issue to.
I think its most likely restricted now to keep the bots at bay from posting nsfw photos or ads. Hoping we can change the site soon. 

You can't drop the motor much before the pan hits the engine cross member. Measure the clearance on yours before making it buying lowered mounts.

I run these on my 427w, https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hed-88308/make/ford/model/mustang/year/1969 I did have to use a drop bracket for the p/s setup, I highly recommend these heavy dutiy versions than the cheap ones scott drake sells as those will tear the frame eventually: https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/e5h21.html?a=GoogleProductSearch&sessionthemeid=26&srsltid=AfmBOorzfz3pRboxGCNDMK_5GMyl_bgodvJtNP4k9-UsJRaI89fhn4GVMfw 

It's a never-ending battle, the bots come back every day, sometimes more that once. We need the forum software upgrade - that should kill the bots and allow the site to be secure again which should fix the "unsafe" warnings and let the "like" feature work again.

Mach 1, you may be right, I thought he was talking about the brake booster - which I highly recommend sending it in for a rebuild and not replacing. however, I've seen some rebuilders do both MC and booster so that still could be a thing. 
in regards to the MC, its probably cheaper to get a replacement online, like summitracing, napa, oreilly auto and getting shipped if none are local, he just needs to know his bore size and swap over the pushrod before he tosses the old MC. 
I do recall some stores use to sell rebuild kits for MCs back in the day, but I think its just cheaper to replace now. My other suggestion is for op try http://www.chockostangclassicmustang.com/ and see what he recommends he knows his OE brake/steering stuff. 

gonna be tough with the brand, I bought it years ago but its a 24" 2 or 3 row I believe. 
for now, ill just do a prestone 50/50 since its already premixed and ill add a additive to help with cooling/lubricate the water pump. my go was driven CSP,  but going to try VP Racing Cool Down Additive. 
VMF woodchuck helped I will also add a Sacrificial anode to help with electrosys. 

just rebuild your unit, send it to that company in the video or the one I linked,  or find someone local.
not hard to look up in google search engine, plenty of vendors that can rebuild your unit.  

If you want to use the original radio and upgrade it to todays wiz-bang stuff (you can even give it voice commands), you may want to try this: https://www.tech-retro.com/aurora-design/home.html
 

Animal House is one of absolute favorite movies! 
As much as I like VMF, 69stang is my true home.

Thanks, the FRPP Hoodpins are around $45.00 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/fms-m-16700-a so its a great buy compared to the overseas made pins that scott drake sells. 
I was also thinking flush hood pins with the locks: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/qul-ql-38-lpbp or push-in type https://www.summitracing.com/parts/qul-ql-38-lpbp since Im more in the resto mod category, however, the FRPP seems to be the best one with out cutting too much into the hood. 

Glad the site is back up n running!
 
Happy New Year everyone!
