Thank you kilgon. All of those things have been on my mind. I'm using a 4 core champion radiator right now, but I don't like it because it feels like it's made of tin foil. I may get Griffen to make me a good one out of actual aluminum. I don't know about the fan situation though. I'm going to be using the cvf racing front drive kit. I have no idea what kind of clearance issues that will present. I was thinking of running a stock mid 70s fan and fan clutch. I was hoping the reproduction shroud would fit but I don't know yet. Probably won't till it's in the car being test fitted. I'm using the crites motor mount conversion kit. So I don't know if that positions the engine in the stock location or not.As for exhaust, I put my order in with FPA for the headers they sell. 13 weeks till they are ready. I know they fit good at least. A friend told me he was using the pipes hybrid system with 3" to the muffler and 2 1/2 to the back because he didn't think 3" would clear the axle and fuel tank. I'm not sure of that yet. I know exhaust is going to be a bear. I'm totally not sure if a x or h pipe is better. From what I've read, probably the H pipe is fine. I don't need alot of scavenging because my LSA is in the 111-112 range. The H would probably be easier to fit. I do hope I can get one of Mike's new 71 subframe and X brace kits. I'm going to see if he can make sure theres room for 3" pipes in there. It will be a good 4 to 6 months before I'm ready for it so hopefully he will have everything worked out by then. He seemed to me that he would have that project finished sometime in February. I'm not sure if the customer is also getting the monte carlo brace, so i may have to get that as a kit. I am going to talk to him again at the end of the month and see if I can go ahead and order a setup, just so I'm in line with plenty of time to spare.I'm going to be using the aeromotive stealth fuel tank system. I'm running braided SS 1/2" lines to a bypass regulator on the firewall.I found a 71 Lincoln 429 air cleaner. It's identical to the 429 non ram air cleaner on the CJ. I plan on getting it modified with a 1 1/2" drop to fit the weiand stealth intake. I still have to measure but a friend with the same setup said his ram air cleaner just fit with a 1 1/2" drop. I may later on take it back and have them modify it to a ram air version as shown on the 429 megasite. I just need a day off to take it to the welding shop.
