Ok V8 guys, what type of radiators did you use? I know Renegade sells a kit that works, but $1100 is a budget buster. Already have the dual fans to use, so don't need them.
Looking for ideas/suggestions/sources. Thanks. |

I would use at least 1.250 id hoses, 1.50 would be better. Just like with a spray gun the longer the hose the higher the pressure needed to get the spray gun to work. Also any 90 degree bends really hurts the flow volume. I use two 1700 cfm fans on my 63 jeep truck with a mild 350 with ac in it. If the battery is beside the radiator the power supply leads to the fan relays won't need to be very long. And as stated earlier I would use circuit breakers instead of fuses, they will reset automatically after cooling off real quick.
Cubic inches is not the way to figgure heat requirements, it's figgured on horsepower as power is heat. |
