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. |

The angle should be OK. Desert Hybrids runs an angled setup in arizona, so it should work. Just make sure that there is sufficient airflow in and out, and that the front is shrouded and sealed. Also make sure that the hot air is not recirculated into the front when sitting still.
I had this setup made for me ata local radiator shop for $275.00 and have never had the car over 190F Mark (IMG:http://inlinethumb51.webshots.com/5682/2033403670057582025S600x600Q85.jpg) |
