    ya thats the book that i found already ordered it from Amazon and also a book on flathead horsepower (maybe build the blue one with a little more power) Techinspector what is your opinion on rear mount radiators with a flathead? i have a 12 volt converted generator that should be about 45amp not sure if that is big enough to run a electric fan big enough to cool in south Texas heat

    Seems like a lot of cost and complexity for no advantage. Why?

    i dont want the radiator to sit above the cowl. i was worried about the hose being ran under the axle would look bad. i guess if i fab or bend tubing and take my time it should look ok

    If you're going to route the lower radiator hose under the axle, I suggest you carry a few spares and plenty of water/antifreeze.

    Let's see, speed bumps, pot holes and road kill come to mind.

    Can you instal or have installed a lower hose neck that would point up at 90 degrees, then use a piece of either mandrel bent tubing or a flexible hose to go to the engine?????

    A radiator shop should be able to make your radiator any length you want it.....at a price!

    it would have to be a really shap 90. i would assume that would restrict flow. i will try to use a 90 but if i have to atleast i know now a radiator shop can reduce the height of the radiator.
