Restriction.

Even with the twin pushers on mine, turned off, moving down the road is enough airflow. That's with no shrouding in front of the radiator; just the body opening and air is free to bypass the...

I just saw the video above. In my opinion, the engine fan is too far away from the radiator to make a shroud practical. As it sits now, it's doing nothing. Even if you did build a big elaborate...

Cooling power vs vehicle speed.

I think you'll find that you need LESS fan when the vehicle is in motion; which is one major benefit of an electric fan. You're not burning power moving all that air needlessly. Better for gas...

Response.

My favorite response is, "What?"

Usually, 3 rounds is all it takes for them to go away.

Fan idea

The lincoln fan idea was one, behind the radiator, as a puller. No pushers, no mechanical.

I like mechanical fans actually. Reliable and simple. It's just not as easy to work on up there with...

Fan Relay

By the way, a typical 40/50A automotive relay will *not* power that fan reliably. I tried. I even tried two in parallel. Nope. They both failed and had me cutting and twisting wires together on...

Cooling.

What about the backwards head gasket issue? I know it's a pain in the butt, but you have to get that right.

Surge can is completely unnecessary unless you have air in the system or don't have a...

Backwards head gaskets directs all the water flow into the front 1/4 of the block; the rear overheats. Water has to flow across the bottom, then up, and back across the top. I've seen it done wrong...

Haven't seen one yet.

I still haven't seen a Vortech mount for a 460 that would work in a Cobra application. Mine is custom; I designed it and had the plates fabricated at a waterjet shop.

Hmmm...

Well, I guess that all boils down to what it is you're wanting to lift.

I'm wanting to lift less than 2000lbs when using a cross bar bridge like that, so I could use something as simple as thick...

Lift Utility

It appears as though a bridge could be constructed that connects between the parts that protrude out the top of the lift posts. Imagine a beam with two "soup cans" on the ends that slip over the...

Try a google search for "allison 250 for sale", or "T63-A-700 for sale" and you'll find a long list of resources.

Depends...

The cost isn't $100,000.00 for an Allison 250, it's more like $25-30K unless inflation has tripled the price since a friend put one in his jet boat. If you're looking to spend $5K or less, then...
