Thanks Tunnelwedge.  I've read a lot of mixed reviews about Maier's hoods, but it's still an option.

Has anyone had any experience with Artifiberglass products?  They have a diverse line of hoods and such.

Private Classifieds / WTB: Crites Performance Mustang Hood
« on: April 20, 2024, 07:15:10 AM »
After looking at them for years, I just went on the Crites Performance website to buy a teardrop hood for a 65-66 Mustang.  I see that closed up shop after the owner's passing....  From what I understand, Crites is (was) the only real choice for a quality fiberglass hood, if anyone knows where I could track one down I'd be eternally grateful.  Ctravinski@yahoo.com

Best Regards,
Chris

PTFE hose is a great universal purpose hose that'll cover any application on your car.  It's very easy to assemble too.

Barry beat me to it, a Blanchard Grinder is the way to go.

Perfect, that's more or less in line with the original plan.  The radiator is a Mustang radiator for a 67,8,9... FE equipped car, hopefully it'll give me a little more room for a fan than the original radiator.  It is wider, but the lower hose is not offset all the way to the edge of the lower tank.  Once I get a water pump on the block I'll have a better idea of where to start.  I appreciate your input and the links you sent!

Question for Scott- What would be your preferred setup?  I have never been fond of electric fans, mostly because I like to keep things as simple as possible.  More or less getting the job done with the least amount of parts, least amount of clutter, least amount of future problems.  My build is a 66 Mustang with a 482" FE, contrary to my previous thoughts of keeping things simple, I did make one concession to run port EFI on a tunnel wedge.  I have the big '68ish aluminum Griffin radiator and was originally thinking I would put a shroud on the radiator with a flex fan (simplest), or possibly a conventional fan/clutch.  To 68 Galaxie's point, I do also have the ability to manage the timing at slow speeds as well.  What are your thoughts?

He's a one man business. The product is good tho. If you REALLY want the latest greatest these are the guys I'm looking at for my Fairlane.

Their fans put out huge cfm (they have videos showing testing) and their controller is about the nicest I've seen yet.

That looks pretty slick.  I'd like to see the actual CFM reading through a radiator though.

Nice write up Keith!  I always give the garage a deep clean and put everything where it belongs before I start a project.  Although, my garage isn't as cool as yours.

Got it.  I was curious because the big trucks at work typically run surge tanks with a hose to the ground and they work out OK as long as they aren't over filled.  It's without a doubt more friendly for the environment to catch what pukes out.

Do you need a recovery tank when using the surge tank?

I thought maybe Gas Ronda was a survivor but it's not.  The rear axle is moved forward such that the wheels are right at the back of the doors and the engine is pushed back as well.

Thank you Kevin.  The story I read made it sound as though they were street cars, but I'm certain these are the 11 cars they were talking about.  The article you posted a link to was a great read, they covered the work very well.  I'm surprised that all DST/H&M did to stiffen up the cars was adding roll cage unless there was other work done that wasn't shown.  Cool pictures.
