Ford Taurus Electric fan- I heard these are everywhere in scrap yards, but I've been to several and none have a Taurus, or Sable with the 3.8L. Is there some other vehicles that this fan comes on? I heard that this fan is a seriously good fan for a V-8 conversion, and would love to snag one up for under $30. There is a ton of Taurus's with 3.0L, but none 3.8L.
Power steering reservoir- Another part I'd love to snag a scrap yard, does anyone with an LT1 swap have any guidence for me on a good one that will work well for me? I know I could buy new, but being in the military......any ideas?
Coolant reservoir- I heard I need a "pressurized" reservoir for the LT1, is this true? And same as above, anyone have any scrap yard ideas?
Radiator- Advanced adapters has the exact CJ to LT1 swap aluminum radiator, but at $500 I'm wondering about other options..
Clutch linkage- Would love to convert to a Hydraulic set up with slave cylinder ect.. What would work good for me? This I may be able to afford new, so year, make, model ect would help with the brainless part store guys.
(my Tranny is an sm465 with 205 T-case)
Axles- I know this LT1 would chew up and spit out my stock axles (dana 30 front, Amc 20 rear). So there is a guy wanting to trade me a set of Dana 44's off a scout with 3.54 gears for my Dana 300 T-case. Does this sound like a good deal for me? My T-case is just stock, nice coat of new paint on it is about all.
Starter- I installed a late 90's chevy pickup w/350 and man this starter is close to the exhaust manifold, maybe like a 1/2" of clearance is all, I'm thinking this will be a real problem with not only heat issues, but with installing the exhaust. Did I get the wrong starter?
Alternator- Parts store says the highest amp alt they can find is 140amp, I'd like to go with 185+ amp, any ideas?
LT1 Computer- This LT1 came out of a Camaro, what do I have to do with it's computer? reprogrammed? Flashed? What are the steps I need to take with this?
These are just a few questions that I have rolling around in my head. My motor mounts come in next week so it's getting close to "GO" time with this project. Also if anyone else has gone from tearing out their 4.2L and installing an LT1 in a CJ, let me in on a few pointers if you have any, I'd appreciate it.
