I wonder if Kurt @cruiseroutfit might have a fan clutch that's lower profile to give you more radiator/fan clearance.
Dave, I’m going off pictures from a previous thread. Too Tall did this same build many years back. I will keep moving the mounts u til I get them where I need them. The challenge in the end will be the front gap. I think @too tall put the fan on then set the 61 radiator into place. I was putting the fan in after the rad was in and that was not working. Here’s a pick of Too Talls work. Looks to have the same clearance as mineJimmy, did you clock it for clearance or is that how it came out with the motor mounts you were using?
Told ya it was tight back there.
Hey Pat, I have another post and asked a member to provide the thickness measurement of a standard 55 radiator. If you have one readily available that would be cool. Just need to know how far it will stickbout from the core support to give me an idea of fan clearance. Also, can we still buy 55 radiators (OEM or aftermarket)? If so, where should I go?Give a shout if you need any dimensions or close up pics of the 55 radiator. I have a spare one but I think it got hit by the fan at some point and is bad.
Excellent Pat. Really appreciate you doing this. I’ll post up to see if anyone has a champion in their 55 or another possible aftermarket one. If we are not successful, I’ll take you up on your offer. Thanks again.Not sure if you can buy new or not. I suspect not but guessing. This one is all yours if you want to recore it. Don't kno what that costs tho
