BBC deuce trans swap (was radiators and more)

[gimpyrobb]

I am getting ready to put my motor in. Tim, you got a part# for that summit radiator? Also, I think I need a resistor to put inline for my 12v coil. I plan on running my starter @24v. Is the coil the only thing I am forgetting? What value resistor do I need? Thanks gang.

So I found SUM-380328. I didn't realize it doesn't have a drain valve. Anyone got a standard type radiator that isn't big bucks? I saw

but I don't know if I want to shell out that much fot it. Yeah, I'm cheap. What else you got that works?

Hop onto e-bay and plug in "CJ to V8 conversion radiator" You'll come up with a bunch of options in both copper and aluminum. They are a direct bolt-in and work very well. My Aluminum one was $365.00 shipped to my door and was here in 4 days.

rad for big block chevell, 67 i think, 189.00 at local auto supply. hose inlet & outlets are already correct for sb chev swap. uses factory molded hose too, just have to shorten them a bit.

Thanks Jon! I am getting close to test fitting, but need to figure a way to adapt the deuce trans output to the 205. Tim suggested a plate adapter that bolts up to the trans and having a flange for the correct Ujoint bolt to that. I will have to see what I come up with and let everyone know. Hey Tim, you get any further on getting a 200 flange to mount up?!

I have a 68 M715, are you saying that the Modine #289 will fit without having to modify the mounting brackets?

[brute4c]

YES!! Thats the beauty of it. It will fit the stock opening as is and has the hose locations in the right places!
