For you V8 guys. I'm getting close to installing my Renegade adapted 350 engine and I need to source (low budget) a complete cooling system. What will I need? Already started looking for the Gates Green Stripe hose. JEGS sells it in 10' lengths for around $135. Seems expensive.
I need to check dimensions but I was considering this radiator: http://www.ebay.com/itm/110799074907?ssPag...984.m1438.l2649 Can anyone offer advise on whether it will work? It doesn't have a drain. Cooling fans seem reasonable and again I will need to figure out dimensions but I was looking at these:http://www.ebay.com/itm/230669549138?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 I know I will need more "stuff". Is there a thread on a SBC cooling system? Can't seem to find one. Let me know. Thanks! |

While Phillip's set up may appear to be one way to set up a system, be keenly aware that Phillip's car is a V6 car, and does not require the efficiency of a V8 car. The more cubic inches you have, the more cooling that will be needed to get the job done. |
