Jeez, way to shoot a guy down! ;-) I think I'm still gonna do the TB, it
should be pretty cheap at the wreckers to get one, and it'll be something to
do. But, if having a clutch fan is no big deal, that leaves more money for
getting a SG!

If I get an aftermarket one, will it hook up properly to the cooler lines
that go to the bottom of the rad, since up until about 8" from the radiator,
they're metal, and go to opposite sides of the radiator?

That leaves me wondering how long will those clutch packs last? I don't
want to be screwed just because I bought an 8 1/4 LSD...
Thanks for the help, Ray. Which reminds me, I've still gotta build the
dual-inlet aircan... :-)
