Glad to hear you're feeling better. I went through some flu-like garbage a few weeks ago. Had to have lasted 2-3 weeks... thought it would never end.
Are there no pre-fabbed radiators available for your engine/truck combo?
Those are definately some serious headers you're buildin. Looks good. Keep it up and keep the pics commin.

I use a rad guy that will build the electric fan brackets into it and makes me the right one for the engine.
Bought a 'direct bolt in' electric wiper motor so I could do away with the vacuum set up.
Went suprisingly easy and did 'bolt in.

Got my brand spanking new handbuilt rad from a company just south of me.
Reckon this might just be enough to keep the 460 cool
Anyone got a trick for wiring 3 fans?
Bought an early 40's fargo bumper that I might try and modify to fit.

Wow is right.... What brand of fands are you running? 3 fans that sounds overkill unless the fans aren't the best... I ran a Olds 425 Rocket motor in the middle of the arizona summer on a single electric fan and I don't remember it overheating.
