how well do the electric fans keep up with cooling your setup? Im on the fence of would i rather cut 1" into the firewall or ditch the mech fan. I have a complete 24v ISB/nv4500 ready to swap into a 97 CCLB F350 i just picked up and am worried about the electric fans keeping up with keeping things cool.
the fans keep it pelnty cool between me and my buddy we have 2 fummins and one chummins all with electric fans and no cooling problems

Thats for sure. I graduate with my bachelors this may, and then start graduate school working on my masters this fall. But hopefully I get on at this roughneckin job this summer to make some bucks inbetween

What problems did you have with the FC mounts?

I thought you did if you want to keep the mech fan? the impression i was getting is it doesnt need to go by much, just make 3/4" more room to work. i guess the hammer will get the first try before the saw ha.

Took a shop hammer to my back firewall. I'm running a mechanical fan, and I have changed both valve springs and head bolts. The only thing that required modification was that we had to drill holes in the firewall to get the pushrods out on the back cylinder when we took off the head. But other than that, no problems.

the easyest way to pull a head in these trucks i found instead of drilling holes is to pull the 6 intake and exhuast push tube, last head stud and towin in one shot by zip tieing them together worked great when i pulled my head 2 weeks ago
