7. Reposition the fan assembly and mount using the #8 oval Phillips head screws, countersunk washers
and flat nuts.

” socket. Connect to the radiator using the donor hose.
Note: Make sure that the fan blades do not hit the sides of the fan housing once the
fan is attached to the shroud. If they do make contact with the housing, loosen
the screws attaching the mount bars, and bend the tabs of the mount bars so
that the fan housing is not pulled out of round when the fasteners are tightened.
9. Mount the shroud and fan to the radiator using the fasteners that you removed earlier.
10. Install the Mustang radiator from the underside of the rolling chassis up to the top support bar. Hold
the radiator at an angle with the lower edge pulled out about 8 inches so the front of the top lip is fully
contacting the ¾” support.
11. Use cable ties to hold it in place against the upper frame support tube. If the radiator has a filler neck,
move the radiator towards passenger side until the filling cap just clears the frame. If the radiator
does not have a fill neck, Use one of the radiator side aluminum pieces to locate the radiator.
12. Place a jack stand under the front or zip tie it to the front body mount once the correct location is
found.
