I need some help or advice on purchasing a new radiator and fan/s. I've got a 408w and I plan on running A/C. I've been researching online and have found some good reviews on Griffin radiators. I was curious what other people are running and if there is brands to stay away from or websites with good deals and combos. Any help would be appreciated.

Well RCE looking at your profile pic you should have no problem getting it together by CTC Next year....Were seriously considering do the 2015 Power Tour so you better get busy.
Give me a shout this weekend if ya get time would like to check out your build...I may have some extra parts you can use.

I went to the dragstrip with the Mustang on Sunday. I have experience drag racing but it was the first time with this car, with a big block, with drag radials, and with an automatic. All very different from my previous experience. The car has a mild 429 (385 series), C6 and 4.11 gears. I also have CalTrac's with Viking double adjustable shocks. A friend loaned me some drag radials so I thought I was set. The best run was a 13.55 at 101.2mph. The car weighs 3625 with me in it. Mid 13s is what I expected but I thought it would run closer to 104-106mph. I'm not disappointed in the car, only my calculations if that makes sense. The car was VERY consistent and ran perfect all day as long as I shifted the the stock shifter properly (challenging!!). I put the 4.11s in recently in anticipation of my new engine/overdrive trans going in soon. I couldn't stand them long term with a C6 or 4spd but they were perfect for drag racing. I couldn't cut a decent light to save my life. My previous experience didn't help me much. Oh well. Had a blast just the same.
 

 

 

Stroker help. I just got my block back from the shop that built it. 393 stroker, comp cams retro roller 35-425-8 .513(282).526(289). victor jr heads 70 cc using NGK 7373 v power plugs and msd mechanical distributor (factory installed spring set up) 10:1 compression. Holley 750 DP (set up from the factory)
My questions what are you using for initial timing, what plugs and what timing curve on the distributor? I am planning to get it dyno tuned after the brake in but would like to get it set up a little better.
Thanks in advance!

I have problems with what I suspect is flex in the unibody, lots of shaking, etc. I am sure that this is no surprise to anyone.
 
I re-did the front suspension (Arning drop, springs, tie rod ends,coil springs..... the whole shootin' match) and this has helped somewhat but I still want to stiffen things up.
 
I have a new set of Bilsteins coming so I will get those on soon.
 
I have been thinking about subframe connectors and the two that float to the top for me is the Tinman vs. Maier racing.
 
Tinman: Less expensive, looks stock when done right.
 
Maier Racing: More expensive and does not look stock but potentially stiffer due to extra contact with the front subframe.
 
Questions/musings:
 
Does the Maier affect the underneath clearance? I do not want to worry about speedbumps any more than I do now.
 
I do not plan to have 600 hp in this or race.
 
My inclination is to go with the Timan.
 
I also tend to overthink things.
 
Thanks for listening.

Like new. No defects....Asking $80 .

I've noted that we can't contact members via PM. I wonder if we could/should set up a matching FB group so we can contact each other easier.
