"other" mods

MSO · June 26th, 2007, 01:48 AM

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?

MSO · June 26th, 2007, 09:17 AM

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?

TurboLX · June 26th, 2007, 09:40 AM

Yea bigger fans cool it off faster

the more stiffening the better, including tower brace connectors

MSO · June 26th, 2007, 10:56 AM

shud i go wit electric fan?

TurboLX · June 26th, 2007, 10:59 AM

TurboLX · June 26th, 2007, 11:27 AM

MSO · June 26th, 2007, 11:28 AM
