I'm going to change the thermostat and upper radiator hose. My previous radiator was shifted a bit to the driver side to clear the ABS block, so I had to shorten the upper hose to avoid it from kinking and limiting the flow. Ron Davis radiator is located like a stock one and is probably wider than stock still, so I've ordered Motorcraft upper hose, along with a Stant 180 F thermostat. Hopefully no hose modification will be required.Another thing I'm contemplating about is switching from Canton Road Race Oil Pan to FRPP Road Race Oil Pan. I've been doing some reading and it seems that Canton is not very good at keeping the oil pressure stable under heavy braking, which I have noticed in a few corners, pressure dropping to about 20 psi. Ford Racing pan is supposed to be much better, not to mention that it's doesn't have a T-pan rear sump design, which means that I can remove my clutch cable relocation bracket, and run the clutch cable as it did before through bellhousing. The pan is not cheap however, with its own specific pickup, runs about 600 dollars through Summit.</blockquote>
