Well if you went to the Bash this year you likely know that my wife was feeling under the weather most all of the trip. If you are one of the girls you likely know why (and a few of you guys) well she goes in Friday for the "C" word surgery. It will be long and I hope they get all of it. We will keep you all in the loop during this uncomfortable time.

Post a pic of your face and car, and we'll find you.
Name tags are usually for the Bash itself on Saturday, right? On Thursday afternoon when you pull into the hotel, there are folks mingling out front with the cars, and inside the lobby. Most usually wear a Mustang Steve Bash T-shirt, or other clues that give us away.

We are half way

Did you have a carb on same set up to start with?
Do have the distributor set up too?
I bet it gets better gas milage.
 

Yes billy I started out with a Eldi carb but knew the new motor would like the EFI better so I went for it. I have the Holley intank pump, I run a dual plane intake without a spacer, have ported heads 9.5 compreson, long tube headers  and get 17 all over the USA on regular gas. My dissy is a new stock with pertronix.

Auto cool has a tab for fans when AC is on, also they have a speed controler for that and even if you didnt have the fans come on with the AC it will alway turn the fans on to what ever speed is required to keep the water as close as possible to temp. I would set up both at hi speed because the controler will do the rest for you. SIMPLE

Well I need more clearance than I thought or had hoped I would need. Do I need this resister piece on the contour fan?

I have used the Contour fan on 2 projects, and I love them, if a belt driven fan won't do.  I think you want the setup as close to the radiator as you can get it, and as sealed to the radiator as you can get it, which will make sure the fans are pulling the air through the radiator.  The resistor piece is where you get the high & low speeds, IIRC.  In an earlier post, I believe you were contemplating running only one fan for lower temps.  I'm not sure that is a great idea.  If only one fan is running, the air the running fan moves will be flowing past the other non-running fan, which has less resistance than pulling air through the radiator.  I think you want to leave the resistor in place, and run both fans together for both high and low speeds, which will maximize the flow of air through the radiator.

I have observed your build, all along, and you have WAY more knowledge & skills than me.  I will say that one of my contour fan setups was on a warmed up SBC in a first gen S10 truck where space was definitely an issue.  I went through a few iterations of fan, shroud, & radiator combos until I found a combo that reliably kept it cool when auto crossing.  The last attempt (because I found one that finally worked) was adding the contour fan to the big Griffin radiator I added in a prior attempt.

If you get the contour fan to fit, your next challenge will be finding the proper way to (reliably) control the fans.  Start another post for that. LOL  I have some opinions on that, too.
