Thread: New Radiator

    New Radiator

    I just finished my new radiator install. I removed the universal crossflow unit and installed a Northern downflow.

    Thisis the new radiator installed.



    This is the radiator before installation. The fan is a Spal 1600 CFM puller and is 2.48" thick. I have a full inch of clearance now. I may be able to switch to a Flex-a-Lite 2500 CFM 16" fan if this one has issues.



    This is the old radiator. It was pretty close to the water pump. The oldfan was a 17" 2400 CFM electric unit. It moved a lot of air. The fan was in th way of the new power steering pump so it had to go.

    The new one certainly looks more stock than the old. I know that's a look you are going for

    As usual, nice work.

    Is that a filter in your upper radiator hose or just a way to custom fit for your app?

    That is a 1.5" piece of stainless tubing. I'm hoping to replace the upper hose with a molded one for a 63 V8 Falcon.
