I have had several guys asking about the fans. These are availible from MVP Motorsports. They are TT fitment but can be adapted to the SC radiator.

Actually got some quality time today to wrench on the car!
First I pulled all my exhaust, for those that have not seen this fine handcrafted all stainless mandrel bent set up here are some teaser pics when I pulled it. This will be a good time to polish it up again.

Next I pulled the driveshaft and then the entire subframe. Kind of scary seeing my baby gutted like this but in good time she will be back on the road. For those worring about alignment, notice the large locater pins at the front, You cant put this back in wrong. It was really easy to pull.

Here is some pictures of the two subfram assemblies side by side. First thing i notice is the Ebrake cables need swapped. I am doing a full evauluation of the two to see if there are any othe gains in this swap. Hopfully I will get the new one cleaned up and new brakes installed this week so I caan throw it back up under the car.
Just go ahead and throw the GTE in there now so you can take full advantage of your new tranny!
That set up is gonna be awesome...And if he wants big power and big torque, GTE killing kind, go TT on that V8 Baby!!!
