There are FAAAAR to many 40's with SBC's in them that don't need a big radiator hanging out back. In my '77 with SBC, the engine is placed pretty far forward like yours, and I run a Volvo electric fan and relay setup. The nose of the water pump shaft has about 1/8" clearance to the electric fan motor and running an off the shelf Griffin aluminum radiator. Fan comes on around 200ish? Off around 180 or 185? There is a solution that doesn't involve ruining the look of this thing with a pre-runner style radiator, just gotta determine the root cause. How hot is hot?So rear brakes are dragging and get super hot . Need to figure that out. And it’s still runs hot. Def need to get this thing to run cooler . I absolutely hate my engine placement cus it gives me very little room . I am almost to the point of running a big radiator in the back like a pre runner
Other than that it drives pretty dang nice actually. I am a bit surprised. . Once I get these bugs worked out we will see how she does where she belongs . In the rocks
