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.

Renegades setup was the best money I have spent on my v8 to date. I highly recommend it & them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . I really looked for quite a while but by the time you get all the pieces. You are going to spend close to that if not more. It is everything you need in one package. You can do it cheaper if you are resourceful. I tried or at least looked before spending the money. After my issues at last years WCR (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Believe me I was wishing I had just ponied up the dough then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I keep seeing that the Renegade setup is the beat way to go but NO ONE ever divulges as to the details of the setup such as how many rows/cores; is it a double or triple pass radiator etc...

Did y'all have to sign your souls to these folks?

Anyone have these details?

Thanks!

AFAIK Its a dual core double pass custom radiator they have made combined with the appropriate bleeding system and good shrouding.


I've been toying with the idea of making a small displacement radiator system for the 914 since Rennegades is overkill and pricey for anything v6 and smaller.

Good to know!

Now, do you know whether a 2 row double pass radiator cools more efficiently than a 4 row cross flow unit?

I have a two row cross flow Griffin unit in my car and on an 85 degree day, it will creep past 200 degrees. This is on a mildly tuned 350 with no T-stat installed (around 300HP).
