That sounds like the best way to do it, as long as the shroud goes back far enough.

By the way, the shroud looks good.

 

thats the reason why i built it in two pieces, move the whole shroud back will probably not

Thank you guys.
That's why I built the shroud in two parts, moving the whole shroud back maybe won´t help, I have to try to insert the fan blade between the box and the round part, otherwise I'll just have to loosen the radiator.
I´ll try tomorrow.

 

When I agreed with moving the shroud backwards I was referring to the round part. From the way it is built, that looks like the logical approach.

It appears to be a really nice design and the craftsmanship looks excellent.

 

Crimped the spark plug wires on thje distributor side and hooked them up, i see it as a mock up currently i will shorten them later to fit nicer.





i got the fan in the shroud like we considered it to do ...


need to add a little notch for the lower radiator Hose.







mock up with an old fan blade.

 

Did I already mention? ...it's alive! Guys what I have feverishly awaited this day.


Almost a month ago....

It´s alive ... 1956 Ford F100, Ford Big Block 502 ci, 606ftlbs, 517 HP

 

Very nice.

It sounds real healthy.

 

In the meantime I have installed the brand new Classic Instruments Gauge Cluster, now I just have to hook up the wires.

 

I really like the classic look of your instrument cluster.

Awesome job.

 

Looks good !!

 

Nice. It looks stockish. But 200 mph? Wow.

 

KPH would be my guess .

 

I was just looking at that and thinking how cool it is to see the speedo done in KPH.

 

Ahh, but of course. Ingo is from Denmark.

And 200KPH translates to 124.27 mph.

Cool....maybe we're related, ...my grandfather was from Denmark.

 

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but Ingo is from Germany 🇩🇪
