"other" mods


k i was wondering about a few other things, my dad is old-school and his tech base is old, and he is weird about answering my tech questions anyways (which is y i ask u instead of him, in case u were wondering)

so i got a few others.. my radiator is all rusted, so ima get a new one

now, is there a better radiator i can get? and wut kind of advantages wud a better one hav? i really dont kno too much about them, or even wut they do

second, i noticed how tiny my fan is.. bigger is better right? wut shud i get for that?

and third, since u drive a convertible, thought u might kno this one.. welding on the braces that stiffen ur car up will act like sub-frames right? since they're only riveted on or w/e

theres some on-topic stuff for ya

Well first off there really is no advantages to bigger radiators, i alaways found stock replacement ones work best, but what you could do is change the thermostat to a lower one to get the engine cooler, but there is no advantages with radiators unless you have a 1000+hp car.

Now for fans, if you can, grab one off an LSC Mark VII the 5 Liter ones or just a 5 Liter Mustang

third, do you mean braces in replace of sub frame connecters?

and will this fan do something?

and yes, the braces under our cars (being that we hav convertibles)

u kno, the extra shit they add on to stiffen it up.. if u welded it, it shud act like a sub-frame right?

Yea bigger fans cool it off faster

the more stiffening the better, including tower brace connectors
