[QUOTE="Riddick, post: 16142399, member: 143188"] Here a few suggestions I will offer up to save you a little money. I would research the cooling fan for the GT500 rather than buying a Ford Performance one. I would imagine Tasca or Autonation would be considerably cheaper than Ford Performance. Id also consider adding a Reische 170 thermostat since it will all be apart. Dont waste your money on the oil pump installation kit. Simply reference the OPG install thread above and they list all the gaskets and crank bolt in there, it will be cheaper than buying the install kit. Again, use Tasca or Autonation.... both will take care of you. As far as OPG goes just do the actual gear and crank sprocket. This will save you a ton of money. You can actually pick up a new OEM oil pump for around 70 bucks and then you can install the gears yourself if your set on a new pump. Its literally a few Torx bolts and you just swap out the old with the new. As far as what brand OPG to go with they will all work. I went with TSS and my buddy has Boundary, both appear top quality and both fit great. Just like you are talking about I did the OPG/crank sprocket install the same time I did my blower and it made things easier. Took a few days to get it all done but nothing to hard. Since you are pulling the radiator you will have more room for that pick up tube bolt. I did mine by bending over into the engine bay and my back was killing me afterwards. If you have any questions when you install this please hit me up. We did mine a little over a year ago and I just helped my friend do cams, opg, crank sprocket, blower on his coyote swapped 04 Cobra :). His engine was out of the car and it was so much easier. So much easier that if I ever have to tear into mine again I might drop the motor. If you have access to a lift you could drop the entire front subframe with the motor attached and then lift the car off. Will take a few hour to drop it but the rest of the install will be a breeze.
