Thread: Starting the new build 32 Coupe

Tweet

Use a radiator specific to the '32. If you try to use "something else," you won't like the can of worms you just opened.

Reminders . . . think about everything that is affected by the radiator.
- Engine type for inlet and outlet locations.
- Air conditioning or not? If yes, fitment of a condenser. Its probably best to buy them together.
- Auto or manual trans? If auto, you need a heat exchanger in the radiator.
- Fan. Engine mounted or electrical? In either case, you need to consider the shroud and the space between the radiator and the engine. Personally, I prefer electric fans. I have a 435 HP SBC, and my electric fan setup keeps the engine temp pegged solid at 180F - and I'm in Texas.

Your application is so common that all you will have to do is think about these reminders, then call the supplier. He will undoubtedly have a list of specs for you to check off. No biggie, if you think it through.
