Re: dual electric fans question(s)

Is that your controller sitting at the back on the drivers side of the engine?
that's it. the cpu is only 3''x3'' the big thing are the plugs that would need 'uge holes in the firewall

I had a TH400 in for my previous mockup and now have the 700r4 sitting in there
i used a th350 that fit fine, the bell housing must be a bit bigger on top, i only modified the cover
i welded the cover in after fitting it, no need to service the toploader trans anymore

I know I will have more questions on the engine and trany hookup
the ramjet is pretty well plug-n-play, the only real problem i had was timing as it only has tdc marks
you need to find a timing light that is + adjustable, none of mine or my friends were adjustable
the wiring harness is foolproof with single purpose plugs for each item spidering out from the cpu
i move the knock sensor to a hole over the oil filter to clear block hugger headers, so figure out what headers you plan to use

i just read today that you had done a frame swap, read my signature and put your build thread into your signature

fyi: the ramjet came just as you see it here (minus trans )
w/ pan, rocker covers, spark plugs, distributor and even the air filter installed

Re: dual electric fans question(s)

one more mod...

the AIT (air inlet temp sensor) needs to go somewheres and they don't give you the somewheres to install it
when i first installed the ramjet i added the plastic 90* between the filter and throttle body and installed the AIT in the 90*
i didn't like the look and moved it to the end of the stock filter as seen in the 2nd pic

the metal is incredibly tough, i used a die grinder and worked my way up until the AIT threaded in
worked fine for the last 20k miles
