Re: Radiator.... Mac's What say you?
It's just a bolt in unit. It isn't like chopping the top or mounting your '40 on an S10 frame. It's 100% reversible when all the other bugs are worked out. I for one would buy a chinese aluminum radiator. They don't look like an original Ford radiator, that's a given. But they are beautifully welded and fit with no alteration. Cost between 225 and 250.00. No leaks, no overheating and no issues. If and when your ship comes in, buy a very beautiful Brassworks job and use the aluminum rad on your run stand or give it to some young guy trying to get his project leakproof. As a learning welder who has bought 3 of these offshore units in the past year, I can't get over the beautiful overlapping 'silver dollars' in the many welds. I thought they must be done by a robot but someone here said they'd seen the factories in China and the workers are just plain skilled. 1000.00 verses 250.00.... and reversible
