Re: need help with 'flipping radiator core support
Post by barrman on Nov 17, 2006, 4:18pm

I drove my truck with the stock radiator into my shop at 2100 a year or so ago. I removed the stock radiator, cut out the passenger side core support, moved it over to the unused bolt hole, made it fit, welded it back in and installed the big Summit Aluminum radiator by 2230. It took me another hour to figure out which electric or belt driven fan to go with and another 30 to install the 1960 Impalla fan without a shroud.

Pulling Pistolnut's M715 on my trailer to the Texas FE and back in 90+ degree temps. I stayed between 185-195 on the temp gauge. I do not have a fan clutch but am thinking about one. Last weekend I drove to Sermis' and back and never had it get above 180 the entire trip. It was in the 60's out side though.
