A couple of cooling system upgrades for the 1966 Mustang, this combo should improve its temps here in the AZ heat. Being a 60's v8 with A/C, it deserves better cooling. Found this combination of parts to work really well in 108 degree weather.

The test drive was done once the car had reached its operating temp of 160-180 degrees. Then drove for about 45 min, temps stayed pretty cool for the entire drive.

Speaking of the Major modification, an article on Motor Trend suggests that trimming the radiator support opening to be able to fit a 68 radiator. Willing to try this on #3 as an experiment. Room for a bigger fan?
