Fan controller you can get aftermarket - sensor fits in the fins of the radiator. As for temp gauge, I ended up putting small piece of pipe in my top hose and threading the sensor into that. I found that an adaptor would have put it too far out of the head for an accurate temp.

just trying to help If you read the post carefully - it says completely stock GN

This is stock suspension?!?!?!? :shock: Yeah every G body has a Ford 9 inch with extended ears and a anti-sway bar just like that! Even the brake lines are aftermarket!

Well no one answered yet........ How about 3550 for the normal driving weight (without driver) 87 GN - steel wheels, completely stock with a 1/2 tank of Gas I'm going to guess that the motor dressed and ready to run is going to be 500 lbs and the 200 4R with converter and fluid is 250 lbs...

The new turbo 400 is slipping - this car hates transmissions My trunk floor is rusting pretty bad - thought I could slow it down with Ospho and a thick coat of paint, but that's not working. I did get a GN 8.5 rear for it and rebuilt it with 30 spline axles

Pull the weatherstrip out of the frame, pull the door panel off, loosen the glass and it should slip out.

do you have a photo?

473 peak hp on an engine dyno. Of course, once its bolted it in the car, run accessories, and run it through a transmission and rear there are losses. I was trying to respond to the OP and suggest that a fast car is more than just a power number.

I've only owned two G bodies but I have owned/raced cars with four link type suspensions for 9 years now. I do not think G body rear suspensions are set up for optimal drag racing in stock form. With my current rear suspension setup (and pretty bald drag radials) I was spinning at the bottom...

my frustration is that many salvage yards use forklifts to move cars and it seems that most of the time D/S get bent

Read part two and then tell me what you think. Moving (and maintaining) anything out of its natural position requires energy.

What happens when you floor the gas pedal – Part 2 Let’s think about the rear axles and housing now. The action here will be similar to the physics of the engine block and crankshaft. Imagine looking at the rear axle from the vantage point of the passenger side of the car. The axles will be...
