Thanks everyone for the thoughts. From my reading the aluminum seemed to be the way to go. It’s also my understanding that when swapping the inline to the v8 the engine will sit lower than the original engine so the fan will not work as designed so that’s why the electric fan needs to used in place of the clutch fan. I’m hoping to start in on this project next month so I’m trying to get a few items lined up for when I dive in to the project. Thanks again for the thoughts.
