Setup a “garage” at my house. So I can get back to working on this thing. Haven’t found a job yet. So everything’s kinda been on hold. Hopefully I find something soon. But in the mean time. I can do the free fixes on the old girl.

Alright. Had to swap timing covers and the water pump. I tried using the accessory kit from the sn95 mustangs. But nothing fit right. So I found this generic serpentine system off evil bay for a decent deal. Not the greatest quality but it will work fine for my needs.

Sadly. The stock radiator won’t fit. So I got a 28x16 universal radiator from Jegs. Little core support trimming. And we have plenty of room again.

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
you have to admire the irony of how a windsor fits and s10 and a 350 fits a ranger.
