Almost FINISHED 745T V8 Cooling Questions...

Hi all,

Haven't posted in awhile, but after some time, my 1989 745T/ 5.0 AOD is running ! Hot...We're using the ( excellent condition ) stock 745T radiator, and are thinking about two 10" electric puller fans. The engine is a 1990 GT/5.0, stock, no problems...I plan to use the car as a backup to our daily drivers,w/ operating AC, so my goal is to have it run cool with minimal maintenance hassles...How about Water Wetter in the radiator ? Any and all suggestions/warnings/education would be appreciated from those of you who have been through this before !

Bonus question: Using stock rear end and newly rebuilt AOD. Considering using synthetic fluids in both after some initial "de-bugging" miles...Pros and Cons ?

Many thanks !!


Sincerely,

Bill Kelly/ Snellville, Ga.
