Re: Cooling
Welcome to the board, I'm thinking it's winter time right now and cooling issues are probably not a problem. ;)
Yes I know business is slow, but don't worry it'll all pick up after tax time. ;)

Re: Cooling
Advice on the distance to space your AC condensor away from your radiator? Going to be messing with adding the AC back to my Riviera this summer so might as well start with that.Central TEXAS Sleeper

Re: Cooling
we usually tell customers to space them about 1 inch away from the radiator that will give it the proper distance for it to cool down so your not transfering heat into the radiatorComment

Speaking of spacing, how far should you space the electric fans off the radiator.Comment

Re: Cooling
They don't make shoeboxes big enough!
Back on topic....trying to cool a late 50s truck with a big block in it. The original radiator (for a 265 ci engine) is kind of tall, and sort of wide, and a tad thick. It just might not be quite big enough for the new engine. All the "universal" aftermarket radiators out there seem to be wide, and not very tall. I guess this works fine for newer cars, but it doesn't do much for my problem. Application specific radiators are pricey.

And to pricey for my tastes. ;)Originally posted by JeffMcKC
The radiators I got for the GMC and '71 Camaro are Northern all aluminum radiators. They are nice quality, made in the USA, fully welded and Oh did I say CHEAP. They both cost me about $175 each and they are both 33x19's with two rows. I then took them to my buddy that works at Ron Davis and had him build me a fan shroud for the 2 16" 2800cfm fans that I'm running on each of them. All in all I have about $350 in each radiator and that includes the shroud and the fans.Comment
