Having a means of cooling off the motor is a good thing! Did you go with the 31" wide or the 27" wide one?

Hey John, I knew I wasn't having one of those moments. I found the details alluded to above. The 27" unit uses (2) 10" Spal fans moving 1112 cfm each and the 31" unit uses (2) 12" Spal fans moving 1630 cfm each. More air movement is a good thing don cha no!

Re: My 86 build
So, did you get it running in the post where it's out of hibernation?

Any problem areas to watch out for?

Re: My 86 build
dropped right in like it was meant to be in there....lots of clearance all around, oil pan sits just above the crossmember with lots of room, could easily drop it another 1 1/2", but not going to...the headers fit like a glove...they dont hit anything, and are going to be just above the 2x4" in the frame, so when its lay'd out it wont be sitting on the headers.....
