    Well guys, things came up and probably wont be swapping this in as soon as i had planned. Bahamas trip next week so money for that and just a busy schedule pushed me back.

    Still have a few parts i need to buy but nothing major, just been slacking.

    Also got my schedule switched so i dont have a long weekend like i used to so maybe once it switches back i can finish her up.

    Just when i think this build goes on hold....

    Won 3 vacation days in a raffle drawing so thats gonna be used for my engine swap.

    Ordered my pullies, a/c kit, and headers. Went ahead and spent 300 on mustang long tubes to see if theyll work and if not i just ship them back for a refund. Have to order my radiator on monday. Then its all about getting these days approved and the swap started!

    Also ordered my radiator. Dual core for a f250. Hoping for slightly better cooling but with no difference in cost the larger one was a no brainer. 3.25 inches wide opposed to i think 1.5inches.

    I think you will get very slim improvements with a 250 rad over a 150 rad :D

    You're probably right. Probably got slim improvements with most of the parts ive used. Towing might be a different story though guess we'll just wait and see.

    Ive heard a lot of good things about adding a 250 cooler especially when towing. I have that on my list of things to do lol
