John, here's the route - 100 classics, all over 20 years old, and so far we're the only Mustang. Not much time for stopping, I'm afraid - but come and cheer us on!

Yes, without a shroud, you want the fan as close to the rad as you can get it without hitting. With a shroud, you need to have the blades half in-half out as I described before so the fan will pull the air out of the shroud and let it do its job as designed. If the fan is inside, the air will just cavitate and you probably could have cooling problems.

Don't forget the 1% of our GDP that he would like to commit to reducing global hunger.

I think that I've already contributed enough to Robert Mugabe and Kim Jong Il's pockets through regular "aid" without making it a regular payment plan.

One has to make allowances during the weekend of the Fourth. I might give the guy a pass this weekend when I would otherwise have turned the hose on him.

I would have enjoyed the videos more it the "facial pain" test in super slo-mo (which should have just been called the "facial" video) had been done on a cute girl.

allright... i went with the pair...
now what's more important?
the fan being closer to the radiator, or the shroud splitting the fins?

the short spacer splits the fins so that the fan is 1/2 in and 1/2 out of the shroud, but it's about 2" away from the radiator.
long spacer gets me about 1" or so between the rad and fan, but not much fin (if any) behind the shroud.

so, i guess the question is, long or short spacer?

thanks.

The distance of the fan from the radiator is meaningless, if the fan is centered in the round opening. I have a car in the garage, stone-stock, and the fan is over 6" from the radiator. Cools pretty well, too.

$100 was to install bearings on both side and I think they include the bearings.
If so that's more like it.

The axle shaft were shortened for the housing and they are 31 spline for the $300 that didn't sound that bad to me, not great but not bad.

I am looking to spend about $500 on the third member not $1000, may have to look on ebay or something or build my own, to bad I just got rid of a good casing about 2 weeks ago.
Rule #1- Keep everything!
