Hello,

I just got done watching your Ford small block series on YouTube! Thank you for such a great series.

You have inspired me to build a 302 for my classic mustang. I noticed on your Ford small block you didn’t have an alternator or a fan. What replaced those items? The Electric Fuel pump?

Thank you,

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

I forwarded your post to Ryan. He is the person in the videos that is the mastermind. LOL I feel confident he will get in touch with you soon. If, however, you don't hear from him, let me know and I'll remind him. He isn't online answering questions at all times, so that is the reason for the delay.

Take care and we hope the videos are helpful.

Hey Brandon!

Thanks so much for watching the series! I'm so glad that it inspired you to build your own. You are going to love it.

We did not run any accessories because we ran it on the dyno first. For an alternator I would just run the stock bracket and unit. Then for a fan we are definitely going electric. There are plenty of aftermarket fans that work great and are super easy to install. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks for using 2CarPros!
