Routing isn't going as planned. Sway bar effed up my strategy. Under we go! This should work just fine, not much lower than the oil pan and certainly not lower than the headers were before

And yes, I know about the shroud. Going with electric fans that are more compact
Dual contour fans . Mine will be in hopefully this week . They are super compact and fit the radiator perfectly .

I meant to be outside working on the car all day today, but my wife and I got absolutely fried in the sun yesterday, so we've been laying on the couch like cooked lobsters all day.

I'm kinda at a standstill any way. I don't have the right size V band for the downpipe. Currently, I have a 3.5" on there which works ok for mock up, but I need a 3" to secure it properly. The tough part will be getting a 3" V band on 3.5" tubing. Fun, fun.

Once I do that, I can make mounts for it and secure it permanently. I have a bunch of assembly I can work on in the meantime, still need a distributor and a clutch. I'm sure more will pop up too.

How much?

I paid $50 for it at the LKQ last week. You can have it for that + shipping. Comes with both factory connectors which are $15 each. . Painted it SEM trim black. It has a crack on the top right of the shroud that does not impact the fans

So, when it's not raining down there, I guess you're running around naked in the noon day sun?
