Project Name:Ghost Ride
I decide to start a project thread to show friends and family why i haven't called them back,(Just Kidding) but to share a transformation of a dream to reality. I can finally stop day dreaming about the truck. What was once a ghost (69 Fleet side) is now my ride.
Here are a couple of pic's

Re: Project Name:Ghost Ride
NO...
Use a shroud and a factory fan blade.Get a 7 vane blade if your worried about cooling.

Re: Project Name:Ghost Ride
Looks like a good start, BigDon. I personally like a clutch fan or electric fan.
Just some advice, I wouldn't run 3" exhaust on that small block. Your performance will suffer. Run 2 1/2" with Magnaflow or Flowmaster Delta Flow mufflers.

Re: Project Name:Ghost Ride
Performance will stuffer, we can't have that! I will have to look into that some more.
Thanks for the tip!

Re: Project Name:Ghost Ride
I was wondering if anybody can recommend a vendor, who sells a complete wiring harness for a 69 V8 Auto Fleetside.
