White, those are good prices- funny you mentioned frankenstein- dad had a ‘58 ranchero, he put a 351 and the automatic from a torino in it- mom and her sisters called it Clydes frankentruck!

It started out as his friends truck, and they repainted it metal flake blue and hand pinstriped yellow on it- ( this was about ‘68 or so) the metal flake came in bags, and had to be mixed in the paint!
It had fiberglass fenders, after dad bought it and put the v-8 in, he beefed up the front springs, added rear leafs,
The frame eventually rotted away- the last i seen it was a rusty shell with fiberglass fenders sticking out of it!

Good Lord White, seems like you have quite the plethora there. Where do the BMW and Volvo parts come in?

Looking at these pics.... I can see I've got to clean the **** out of the engine bay when the 302 comes out. Thinking of painting it black too.

That is a BMW dual temperature switch. It activates both speeds of the Taurus fan, based on temp. Low comes on at 180F and high comes on at 195F.

This is a dual relay pack out of a Volvo. This is a "mock up" photo, in the testing phases. It has two relays, each activated with a negative trigger.

I also used this 80 amp, continuous duty solenoid to allow it to shut off with when I turn the car off. I didn't want it draining my battery.

LOL.... I also have 2001 Mustang front spindles/rotors/calipers for it, and rear Ranger axle shafts and brakes..... yeah, pretty modular.

And everyone used to say they liked GM because you could mix and match parts......

Correct. Modular is on step up from Manufactured (trailers). A permanence thing.
