Gotta love a good day in the junkyard................pretty cheap entertainment to me..........When I was in highschool (late 70's) there were a lot around my area that would let you pick your own..............Id go and spend a whole day and only spend 5 bucks and come home with a truckload of stuff. Theres only a couple around anymore that will let you pick your own. I still enjoy going and scrounging even if I dont find what I went for I usually come up with something I can use or some ideas for more mods.............maybe I'm just easily entertained??????????????

I use the JY run as a great way to see how some things are taken apart, and I always find a part or too.
And have met some fello Ford nuts needing parts, that's always funny to me, its like
"ha where is one of those things at ?"

i had originally thought about doing both electric and engine driven. i may just go the mark VIII route. ive got a real nice aftermarket oil/transmission cooler with a fan on it that im gonna add for the engine oil. since im doing away with the auto tranny, im thinking about using the tranny cooler on the radiator for the power steering.

With a 195 t-stat I run a constant 200 degrees, when I had the C6 I ran consistent 170 degree or less with a 3000 RPM stall convertor. Engine oil temps were a non-issue.
I ran a small cooler for the power steering.

You can also source the fan from 10th gen T-Birds which ran from 89-97, but look at the 93-97 cars to be sure. Not certain on the 89-92 cars.

Unfortunately, the price of scrap has made it too tempting for junk yards to pass up the opportunity to clear out some of the older and heavier junkers. It's getting very difficult to find 35 year old anything in junk yards because of it.
