My new radiator is a Champion CC1500 for a Datsun Fairlady.  It measures

Total: 17.13″ tall x 17.38″ wide (with brackets)
Core: 11.75″ tall x 14.25″ wide x 2.25″ thick
Inlet: 1.38″ passenger side

Outlet: 1.38″ driver side

Available through Ledfoot Racing for $205.  It cools my 2.8 GM V6 fine.

I have a BCW which had a Chevette engine and radiator.  The radiator is available for shipping.

I need a steering column.

Did anyone use an Ididit shorty tilt steering column?

For my Subaru swap I used an aftermarket radiator designed to fit a 1992-2000 Honda Civic, similar to this. It fits nice behind the grill and was easy to make mounts for. The larger of the two original Subaru Legacy fans also fit nicely over it.

The rad was made for a 1.6l engine but the Subaru engine is 2.2 and it cools very well. If I had a…[Read more]

The Chevette manual reproduced here is showing the original Chevette radiator being used. A cross flow unit with side tanks.

Michael, can you jump in here and help Bob out? I’m of no help on the Chevette model.

Radiators. I have a partial Chevette kit with no radiator and would like to know what radiator is used? Looked up the Chevette and found it to be to big and with the cap on the side? would like one with cap in the middle if possible. Any Ideas?

I’ve taken the seat back and put it up on the package tray. Cut it down for height. I’ve also taken a few inches out of the seat base.

Took the car out Sunday afternoon during the recent heat wave. With air temps in the mid 90’s I put about 25 miles on it. The temp gauge just creeped up on 210* when I got it home. Considering how hot out it was, I was pleased. I was also cooked.

Tonight I made a paper template of the hood which will go to the fabricator for louvre production.

2 core vs 3 core:  I was having temp problems with my 998cc classic mini.  Did a lot of reading and decided to try a 2 core vs the 3 core original.  The logic being that while the 3 core may have more coolant exposure the increased density of the cores decreases the air flow and thus: the 2 core cools better.

I should mention that I had acid cl…[Read more]

The original Mustang radiator was a 2 core, which is what I am currently running. I’ve saved that link for the 3 core for future reference. Last Saturday morning when it was cool I drove mine to work apx 17 miles. By the time I got there the temp gauge was just climbing over 200*. Before I came home in the heat of the day I dumped (2) bottles of R…[Read more]

Painless! Thanks!

Thanks, man.
