Im trying to Figure out if an extra radiator i have will work for my V8 conversion. It is at an 35-45 degree angle to fit under the hood, is that to much?
It's a 30x18 dual core, I thought it would fit but guess not. What size are the renegade ones? They look raked out when the are installed as well. Thanks. |

18x30 dual core is a pretty standard rad size for NASCAR stuff - I am assuming it is 1" capillary like a typical alum dual core double pass made in the past decade. Assuming all of that, you have enough radiator.
For your specific question, you can lay that radiator nearly flat and be okay - you should see the angles in some Ultima kits and so forth. Does it have a radiator cap/fill neck on it, or does the rad require a separate fill tank? My point is if you lay it over, you want to have a separate fill tank that feeds the radiator. Here is my 16x28 dual pass, two core NASCAR style radiator and you can see it is laid over pretty far. Also note the Moroso fill tank. |
