How long does the vent tube need to be, and where does it vent to?

Hell, on both mustangs and the street rod, there's no vent "hose", just a little 1" tall covered nipple thingy on the top side of one of the axle tubes.

I've noticed that Wes will sometimes plow through thigh-deep water, so on his a snorkel might be too short. :p

We ran out of road in a 45mph zone yesterday, so I didn’t quite make it to 140.
I’m still happy with the fact I sold that car, but do not like the newer Denali's enough to buy one and have it sent to Hennessy. I’ll send my 2011 before I send a new one.

Alright here goes…I’m in a bit of a dilemma. While I have the front end removed and the 40k unhooked, should I just bite the bullet and replace the radiator now?
While I’ve never had any heat issues, I am at 96k miles (6.2l) so time is ticking for the radiator. These are usually what a 150-200k replacement if they don’t get clogged or fail before that timeframe?
I replaced the water pump and all the hoses, fittings, clamps as well as the oil cooler lines, power steering lines and the pump. If I am replacing the radiator, do I need to replace anything else while I’m in there - mounts, clips, support frame…etc?

I know over in the tru-cool thread we all recently discussed which Rad is better versus which is easier to “plug and play” without extra dissection of the supports, but I can’t remember if we discussed any of the other replacement items. I’m sure someone (or many) has at one point or another in this thread.

So…whatcha got for me? Do it while it’s in pieces and before it’s too late?

Thanks…

Especially if you already have everything else apart and replaced a bunch of other things, men's will do it now, preventative maintenance.
