id rather not modify the front and rear drive shafts to allow more room for cooling. im also using an electric taurus fan so space is especially tight. ill probably convert to a serpentine system, is there a specific model configuration i should use? i already have the radiator in place of the ac condenser. what have you guys done on your 4x4 conversions to make this work?
thanks

I wrote something on your other post, but I guess you had some answers here. Anyway I have an 84 4X4 with stock transfercase and front/rear drivehsaft. I have 2 V-belts. 1 for waterpump and alternator and other for powersteering. My radiator is in the forward position in the bottom and rear position on the top. I have a 15\" electric fan off of a Regal. It all fits. I can put picks of anything up if you want.

I left some info on your other post. Being a 4x4 it makes it that much easier. 3Inch body lift, cut the bottom of the rad suport, droping it @ 3inches. remove the wings from the support and weld it the bottom back togetther. I have a 79 k30 w/allvbelts, a fisher plow pump and a 3\" space between the stock k30 water pump and the rad!!! It all fits. Ididn\'t have \'move\' the engine forward or back any distance enough to worry about shaft problems. The only major engine move I made was moving the engine to the right 2\". I alsco cut the FR shock tower out and moved it over about 2\' towrd the oustide.
