Ansen cast aluminum valve covers, Eddy RPM intake, long tube ceramic coated headers from Stan's headers, all pretty expensive but I don't plan to ever get rid of the truck so what the heck...

Nope you don't need custom brackets . The stock brackets work just fine.

i used to get my 3g alts off of certain ford taurus cars, they have 2 sizes where the ears are further apart, also some are 130amp while other are 90ish. i also used the contour dual electric fans on jeeps and fox body mustangs alike with great results, way better than those power surging taurus fans, but i doubt they would fit the bump radiator as nicely, but removing the fan frees up some noticeable ponies on a clutch fan set up. i must get a 3g alt now, thanks you just schooled me thanks.
oh what do i get the pulley off of? since it doesnt come v belt

94z28 if you are looking for a electric fan that fits like a glove try 94-96 T-Birds . They are 2 speed 18" single fan and works great! here is some pics of what it looks like . one note is the 3G conversion is a must when using this fan .

Here the fan an the plug


The mounting bracket


Installed on the truck

very nice, yeah the dual fan may fit even better then, its wider than the tbird ones, i looked at those when i did a few before on mustangs and jeeps. like that radiator. I may swap my radiator too for something else out of something else. I always have liked doing stuff like that. i put a 3rd gen camaro radiator in a 86 Toyota truck which was a great upgrade with better cores and better flow with end caps side to side not top to bottom. I think these are top to bottom too, i like it to flow across instead.

on a side note anyone have a mpfi 360? Im a carb hater lol efficiency and throttle response

1967 Ford Mustang EFI Conversion - FordMuscle i kinda like this one and i know about the mass air a9l ecu its pretty sweet, great for a 302. Im just not sure i like the carb style intake its got to be restrictive with that 4barrel tb. a single would be way better, or ITB
