Electric Water Pump

[Dan Moore]

Yes I did to allow for the tiger front suspension and rack I cut into the firewall and welded in new sheet metal
I used the old steering mounts to bolt on motor mounts that I made made ss headers added f 10 master cylinder and a modified tiger ( don't tell the Tiger Guys ) rad and electric fan
I also cut holes in fender wells to add in cooling and added a hood scoop welded to the hood I did all this in the 80,s but rebuilt a new motor in 2008 but have yet to finish motor has a lot of the Sven Pruitt mods done and if you look at the picture on the cover of the book I have the chrome pan on mine

Very interesting in that you moved the engine back into the firewall in order to utilize a tiger rack.

How much clearance for the distributor?

I have the Pruitt Book which I have referred to often.

Did a relief have to be cut for the thermostat?

Here are the pics of the Areostar housing and the plug that has to be installed and bypass

Both radiator hoses run to the top?

Dan
Originally I used the pan from the Mustang II that is 1 of the reasons The other reason was the motor mounts and there is lots of room for the dizzy .
Mike 1 of the hoses is the by pass that goes to the original lower thermostat housing the other goes to the top right hand side of the rad m0ds too the rad
As for the relief I am not sure what you mean is it on the manifold ?

 

[MikeH]

Did you have to cut out a recessed area for the thermostat in the manifold?

 

[Dan Moore]

No Mike I did grind a little on the bottom of the manifold so it would not touch the front timing cover and only in that area
I did take a piece of aluminum 1/2 thick then I drilled it for the 3 hole manifold and counter sunk 3 allen head bolts then drilled it for the 2 hole thermostat put on some silicone on the plate and the gasket and bolted it on
