FFMDX's SLOW Build

[FFMDX]

Now for the Questions

1: What are you guys using for your heater lines? I have the stock 'Stang/Exploder hard lines with two hoses and nipples coming off of them. I'm not running an EGR, so can I just connect the two?

2:In the pic of the intake, what is this sensor (EGR side) and do I need it? I don't see a corresponding connection on Ryan's harness...

3: I have a 3/8" spacer and don't seem to have enough clearance. What size spacer are you using?

4:Can someone please tell me where all of the line go and what port is what? Alson I have two lines (short and long) with rubber tips...what are they and where do they go?

As Always Thanks In Adavance!

TIA

UPDATE and PIX

Well it's been awhile, but I've made a little bit of progress over the last couple of days...MAN!, If it weren't for all of the little stuffI'd probably be trying to start this thing this weekend, but I guess patience is a virtue! I've completed the heater hose mods with the Mustang hard lines, finished plumbing and mounting the fuel system and coil ("cust". mount)Move the BCB throttle cable up ~ 2" and extended my go pedal, got the upper in and plumbed, finished the new cross member for my anti-wrap bar, but still waiting on parts as well as had my WH 4 core 3-pass rad modified for the 5.0 serp conversion........... AND NOW trying to figure out what direction I'm going to go with the rad. fan...Questions to follow

Here are a couple of pix for ya!

Looks good Sean! You've been busy.
So when is the target date for firing that beast up? I think mine may fire sometime around mid-July. I've been preoccupied with about a million other things lately. Even after it runs, I still have a long way to go.

You on the other hand... you're just about ready to wheel!

Now for the Questions

For those of you running the Mustang serp set-up, what fan are you using?

I have already moved my rad mounts foward on the radiator support so the rad sits flush with the support now, but the rad support is still in the stock position. I am unable to cut and move the support due to the way my radiator was modified.

1: How much space should there between the fan and the rad?

2: For those of you running the same config, what size spacer did you use? and did you modify your rad support?

3: I'm REALLY considering going soley electric with a temp sender and cut off swithc, mainly for the space. Is there a prob with running just electric with EFI? Anyone out there running in this config?

\Crap, brain fart here, I'll be back with a few more questions I'm sure!!!

TIA

I have a fixed pitch fan from BC, the one they use on the baja truck. The fan should be about half way into the shroud. I had to use a 2" spacer to get there. I can send pic's when I get back from the ocean camping trip.

Very nice Sean! You will sooooo happy when you get it running that you took your time now and did everything the right way. You motor looks great! I can't wait to see the ear to ear grin on your face when you start it up and drive it for the first time. Make your wife has the camera ready when you start it.

I don't have the Mustang set up, but for what it's worth, I am running the stock CV fixed fan with the stock clutch.

Update

Well, not a whole lot of progress, I lost a week of garage time when I was sent to Butte County.... but my antiwrap bar and crossmember are done, the "re-mod" of my lower rad mount is done, now to figure the whole fan thing outI just posted a new thread about the "fan thing" over in tech. As soon as I get my cooling dealt with, I just have to run the exhaust, 4 wires and it START UP TIME!!!!!!

It's till questionable if my rig is gonna make it to the 'Con un Aug thoug

Looks awesome Sean.

I run and have been running a single electric fan since I did my swap. I ran the SPAL for a while because it was shallow. If you can fit the Derale, that is a bit quieter. That is what I have now and it keeps me at 95 degrees.
