I liked the guy that had the garage that entered the side of his house on Old Canton that always had a bad ass lifted ford

I had an all aluminum 4 core in my 1968. Never got close to overheating.

I had an extra I sold to @Bodean

Oh wow. I remember that. That was right by the entrance to what I think was called Heatherwood?

Sorry…I'm getting off topic here.

What Bodean said! Get the champion 4 core and build a good shroud around it!.. you can't go cheap on this!

 

[wngrog]

JRob. Electric or belt fan? Direct or clutch fan if not electric?

 

[euclid]

I remember this rig too. First one I ever saw with the dumb looking Chevy emblem.

IMO, if you plan to keep it get the OEM Toyo Rad 4 core brass radiator. It's the bees knees.

unsure on keeping....but i already ordered the champion.

can you get me the heater valve and errr....some of the other things we talked about?

btw,

i talked with luke, my electrician who owned this 40 for some time....he said all the lights, speedo, blinkers, were functioning properly....said hed even driven it to 100+mph

 

[OGBeno]

I can get you the heater valve. Yes.

 

[Bomar]

I would take the radiator to Four seasons in Memphis and have them make you one. It will be better than a Ron Davis.

 

[Bomar]

Or if a true OE Toyota then get it repaired/recored they are the tittes.

 

[Bodean]

He's already ordered the Champion. It'll work fine. Both of Jrobs are fan/clutch/belt type.

@wngrog can you ask butch about the header? whether it is an oem or not? only ones i am finding are 2.5"...the OEM ones are 2"////

 

[wngrog]

It is not a header it is a 2" OEM Ram's horn manifold. Jrob has them on his truck too. Stock manifold. No clearance issues. Less heat, they match up with that crossover Y pipe that we keep talking about.

Did you talk to Pat? He has some.

Great manifolds. Actually, even pretty efficient. Corvettes used to use them.

Good radiator shop @Bomar?

I need one made for my 70.

 

[jynx]

That's who built that badassness located in @FJ60Cam rig. Rad, shroud and all I believe.

Christ, a whole page on radiators...

Reminds me of my old build thread
