Thread: Headers vs. Stock manifolds & elec. Fan

Tweet

Where would be a good place to take the exhaust manifolds to have them smoothed out on the inside? Or should I just use a drimil tool myself? Thanks for the info on the elec. fan. I want to go with an electric to save a few HP, since I'm not using the headers. I'm not racing the car, but I would like it to be as strong a runner as I can on a teachers budget. : ) Thanks for the good ideas!

"I want to go with an electric to save a few HP"

In my opinion, there are better ways to make a few more HP. I also think you're gonna have a problem cooling it with an electric fan, but I could be wrong.

If you can't be talked out of an electric, at least use the daddy of them all, the Lincoln Mark VIII.....

Another reason for the elec. is that I'm not sure I can fit a fan clutch and fan in the space. My radiator is still getting re-cored so I haven't got an accurate measurement yet, but I'll check it carfully when I get it back. It would be simpler to run a regular fan. How much HP do you think you can save by going to an electric? Thanks for your help.
