You can make a great alluminum driveshaft for <$100.
granny has the thing for the the Tii, thats what i heard
i ordered, but still yet to hear back from him

it should work, u can always move the reservor somewhere else and tilt the rad at an angle

btw summit 27.5 x19 x3 radiator is only $200 and junk yard fan is under $50, so thats actually only $250 if u if you shop hard enough.

early 3.8 v6 taurus fan works the best, i've heard there are 9 blades and 11 blades, just pick whichever comes in handy. if you have more than one there then grab them all and pick the one in the best condition, sell the rest here for $50 shipped the board will love u.

as far as radiator bracket you can just buy a summit mounting kit and drill holes, or u can make something up from home depot
someone on the board did this for an FD :
Group Buy for My Radiator Brackets
too bad there's nothing like that for the FC

Here's a little money saving tip I learned today. If you need generic performance parts go to summitracing.com and look for the Summit branded parts. I got a filter in from them today and it was literally a K&N filter that was put in a generic box. The K&N was normally like $60, but the Summit one was less than $30. It's the same deal with all of their AN fittings as well.

I found the front spicer "extra long" front slip yoke mentioned in Frijolee's thread, on EBAY for about 30 bucks shipped. Granny's sells them for 50 plus shipping.

Ford 5.0 guys, Summit carry a fitting for -8AN and -6AN to Ford fuel rails, it's sweet and no need to reuse those old restrictive stock metal lines.

what about taking the factory power steering pressure regulator apart and switching the spring instead of playing with an external regulator and the hassle of more lines?
