rr03cobra reacted to jmlay in Reverse switch install
I have no experience with that harness. Sorry, can’t help with that.
Looks like that yoke is sticking too far out of the transmission extension housing.

rr03cobra got a reaction from TexasEd in speaker mounting/mp products
Update. Since I couldn’t find what I was looking for I made these boxes and mounted them. The rear quarters already had holes cut in them so I will paint the grilles and put them back in. I couldn’t find the electrical info to know the correct size of box but I think this will work fine. If not they can always be ported at the bottom. I’ll post pics once the grilles are painted. They are 6 1/2” speakers.

No good (concours correct) lamp sockets are available. Be careful to find an aftermarket one with the proper diameter and length of metal before and after it snaps in place.

I used a dome light from a 68 Mustang, but I had to add a cross brace when the headlining was out.

rr03cobra reacted to Vicfreg in Opinion-install new motor or paint car first?
Mine is going to paint with the entire power train in, dash out, and doors, fenders, and hood off. My body guy will then install all the body panel and line them up, then shoot the clear coat. after that, install weather stripping, and back to me . My engine compartment and undercarriage are already painted.
Also, if you do this, make sure you run the engine and test for leaks. All I will do when I get the car back is bolt on trim, bumpers, lights, windows etc.
No matter how careful you are, it is too easy to scratch/dent/scrape new paint when trying to install the engine. Plus the hood has to be off.

I used the dual cooling fans from a Ford Contour. I used a 24" radiator & I am running manual steering with a stock water pump. Here is a pic that shows how much clearance I have.

All the pulleys are just the water pump one. My water pump pulley was the one that was closer than the others but I used the dual fans and it so happened that the water pump pulley being in the middle hit right between the fans and cleared. I used late 80s early 90s f150 brackets tho.

Maybe give mtf a call and see what belt systems their stuff was designed for.

I would think that moving the engine is just asking for angle problems in the drive line. I would think about another fan. Just my opinion.

Installed a big spal on my griffin radiator , to get the clearance I switched to a short water pump and specific pulley from CVF

Yeah, your radiator looks wider than the one I have. Not sure what I would do there.

Rich, I used the Ford Contour dual cooling fans on a 24" radiator, & a serpentine drive for just an alternator. Here is a pic of the clearance I have between the pulley & the radiator.

talked to CVF and they said that pump/pulley combo is only available for the V belt system. I got a hold of MTF and they mentioned they've had this issue before. The shroud mounting tabs also interfere with the radiator and them rub on the fins. Their solution was to cut off the mounting tabs and some of the radiator support to add extra clearance. I'm going to cut the metal back to where it is rounded and that should give me enough room. This is a 6 cylinder sportsroof that is being heavily modified so I'm okay with that. thanks everyone for the help. posted my solution in case anyone else runs into this..........Rich
