I havent looked into it. These came stock with an electric fan, but I'm sure its possible.

Electric fan is not hit and miss. That's an old misconception.
Good controller and good fan will last for many years. Mine is going on 10 years with no issues over 70k miles.

electric fans are hit or miss with poor quality fans and poor quality wiring/electrical support

I'm on the fence with that. With the old 383, i would always get warm going slow, and it would always drop once i could get moving again. For the amount of slow I go, I think I would prefer full fan all the time, and sacrifice some of the higher rpm mechanical advantage, since I never seem to have problems with that.
Unfortunately, I represent this statement. Still love my Taurus fan…

Spent a half day running for parts and the gym yesterday, so not a ton done.
Battery tray.
Made a few little personal touches. You'll never see it unless you pull the battery.
Back in the yard.

I like that green one.
I’d say you’ve graduated well past the “fire wielding monkey” stage.

Yep, I get to molest it a whole bunch come monday.
Are all of those land cruiser just doners?
What did you use to bolt battery tray to frame? Nutserts or other? Nice work. Must be nice to have access to CNC and breaks for thicker stuff!!

Redhead #18502 I think.
Did you get the link geometry worked out? I want to see this thing go up the wall.

Working on it with alex, have to swap sides anyways to clear my oil filter, and I'm linking the rear while I'm in there.

Harness arrived!
Lots of spaghetti to stuff back on.
The shifter is pretty sweet! It should look good in a 40.
One side on. I am really glad I numbered all of the plugs.
Not much left to go back on.
More plugs.
Dug this out to start logging data and tuning.
ECM in roughly final location.
A quick oil change.
And then this happened.
No MAP, MAF, or O2s, but it ran! Need to get the trans lines made so it doesn't spit oil out, but it runs!
