hey guys,
Ive got a 73 and i am doing a subi swap. i am trying to do a little research on the radiators that you guys are doing for your projects. I would also be intrested in the v8 guys swaps as well. Which radiators are you using and what has worked best for you? I have heard that early year camaro radiators work great. I am planning on having around 350 horse and it is turboed. i just want to make sure it is going to stay cool. i am planning on building a custom shroud in front and behind the radiator. i am looking to vent it through the hood. The evo style vent has caught my eye and i think i will go that rout. I am aware of the renagade set up but i also love to do my own stuff and i think i can build one just as good for less than $1000. I am also intrested in hearing where and what type of hose you are running from the radiator to the engine compartment. I am planning on rubber hose underneath. The only source i have been able to find is the green gates hose. Im sure it is top quality but i was curous if you guys are using, and have had good results, with any other brands. thanks in advance andy |

Are you going to mount that behind the headlight buckets or between them. When I measure between my buckets I get about 30 1/2". So if I go between the buckets something will have to give a bit. |

Wilhelm - If you were to use this radiator, you would have to be behind the buckets a bit due to the height of the radiator... This radiator has a higher capicity than most of the other units that are installed vertically... |
