Ok...
So parts will be here this week to finally put the mock up engine in the car for the first time.... So time to start planning the cooling system... I want to use aluminum hard lines in the longs, I'm thinking 1.25 or 1.5 OD. I will make a removable "bottom" on each of the longs one side for aluminum cooling lines and the other for braided stainless AN Fuel Lines. So here are my initial questions: 1).Should I buy and aluminum radiator with or without a cap? If I go without I will use either an inline fill in the upper hose? Or radiator cap where the thermostat housing original was on the Small Block Chevrolet? 2) Should I buy the aluminum radiator with outlets one on each side? OR both outlets on drivers or passenger side? 3) I am using an electric remote water pump, so I could mount it in either the engine bay or front trunk? 4) Which would be easier to use 1.25 or 1.5" OD Aluminum tubing for the cooling lines? Thanks guys I look forward to your responses... Steve |

Hi
I use 1" aluminum conduit on both of my cars, and they both have no fill radiators. The conduit has a heavy wall and welds nice. Good luck Bob |
