What kind of crossover?
Interesting .. everyone I know thinks 210 is panic temp for their cars. Then again I guess Satan would know something about heat!!
Note that most modern cars , even the ones with huge bumpers and almost no grill have almost totally closed the area off under the front bumper,...
Don't know but its a sweet looking ride!! You might be able to put a pan under the front to deflect air up into the rad area?
very good stuff
I got a suggestion from another site I thought was good to add a bypass hose from the top of the water pump to the intake which allows flow until...
Don't know ..I'd like to know for sure also.
The picture may not be the best representation.With the hood down I think the front entry of air is pretty good and the rad is unobstructed...
Well the Britts have gear heads too!!
The top of the intake is 1 /4 lower but when you put thermostat housing on it the housing and the top rad hose is higher and thus a possible place...
thats thinking out of the box!
wow ..very interesting
I see that's a single pass ..I was looking at the same but an 18" double pass mounted in a similar area.
If when it starts it stills overheats again......and I can establish its a flow issue, I have seriously considered adding a Stewart electric...
Ya I'm not exactly stock either ....30 over and a little more cam to get me to 400 HP.
Cosmo.. good comments. I know the car used to run up to 210 but can't remember how much over. I know my Jeeps run normally right at 210 regardless...
Ok ..new question on trans oil coolers. I'm going to use a remote cooler instead of putting the heat into the rad. I have two choices .. a...
I hope it does not over heat but it used to so I'm making as many system changes that could help cooling BEFORE its fired up. I just rebuilt the...
Not saying its BS at all and will definitely check timing when I fire it up. Just that my distributor does not have vacuum advance as far as I know.
Eastman sells a nice 3 pass ... but only certain sizes ... I was only able to find one size that would fit my car without having to se3eriously...
My electronic distributor does not have any vacuum advance. The vaccum for the power brakes comes off the rear of the intake manifold. .
Yes there is . I'm making a few other modifications before I run the car. Right now my focus is a good baseline for the cooling system. Then I...
All good stuff ..first to clarify ..the rad is lower than the engine so its not good as a fill point. As to louvers, the hood has 2 - 4" holes in...
The new rad is a triple core ..not sure if that's the same a s triple pass.. so hopefully hat helps. I'm definitely going to look at remote...
Will ..do ..and it is!
I will definitely check the timing and look into a remote cooler for the trans. for sure ...thanks
Less than an inch ..but as stated its way too high relative to the rad face and the hood clearance for a mechanical fan. Looking to close up the...
Hopefully this rad will be more efficient than the old one ..it is supposed to cool up to 450 hp and solve the overheating at speed issue.
Thanks all for the great feed back ..please keep it coming!! ;-)
Not thinking the fan is oversized . its almost the same diameter as the width of the rad core. The slant of the hood vs moving too far down below...
