i have a 81 12a that im trying to race..any easy mods..

easy engine mods like messing with the nikki carb or removing stuff??

any body know how to hook up an electric fan and which one to use ???off of what car.im going to the junk yard soon,also can i remove the fan clutch if i hook up a electric fan??

 

removing stuff, remove rats net (emissions stuff) pratch has a good write up of it. remove spare tire/jack. remove ac/ps power anythign cruise control rear window wiper motor. etc.. all depends how far you are willing to go.

easy mods, setup a direct fire ignition. theres a writeup for it arund sumwhere just search. Racing beat header and exhaust.

dickin wit da nikki, mechanical secondaries.

electric fans, yes i know who to set one up to make it work. will i explain? no. do a search or use a bit of common sence :]

if u add an electric fan hten yes u can remove the clutch fan but make sure you keep the fan shroud to use with the electric one.

wich electric fan to use? look for a fan slim profile from ford smodels liek the escort and the well hmm the name escapes me at the moment sorry. if u search lots of good info will come up.

 

"you are trying to race"

Hmmm, any particular racing class, because most of them have a rule book. This book will tell you which modifications are allowed, and the one no listed are not allowed.

Before you start gutting your car or spend a dime, figure out what kind of racing you plan to do. Cause running in a Unlimited Class is very expensive if you plan to be conpetitive.

I recommend and Spec7 road racing or a stock class of autoX. But like I said read the RULES.

Will this be a track only car, or street driver too.

Electric fan, what is your engine worth too you? $200 then go Black Magic (2800 cfm) but I hear you could get by with a 3.8l Ford Tarus fan. But again ask yourself what is my motor worth.
