Thanks.Cooling hasn't really been an issue on either of our 460 T-Birds.The 83 has a grille and a huge radiator and a 15 inch mechanical fan.The 87 Turbo Coupe uses a stock width 2 core rad. (Summit special) and a large 17 inch flex fan with a stock 5.0 fan shroud.Cars are consistent on temperatures, but then again we are not pushing 700 hp (yet) Quote Selected

And will a Mark 8 fan work just fine?I understand that the MK VIII fan is the most powerful electric fan you can buy (even better than most aftermarket ones) and alot of guys swear by them.The 460 cost is around 30-50 % more than a 302, depending on upgrades.

watch Reply #6 – February 22, 2008, 01:22:17 AM if you engine swap and you go from pulley type to serentine type pulleys & belts make sure your fan is pulling air and not pushing it. some water pumps are made to run in opposit direction for different set ups. Quote Selected
