The current thought is to install a modified Mazda RX7 cooler in the front of my GT style conversion.
I bought a cooler off Ebay, for 10 bucks and it showed up on my doorstep today. I must say I'm quite impressed with the quality of the part. It's welded aluminum and the craftsmanship appears to be on par with German Behr parts. I shot a bunch of pictures and thought they might be of interest to some on the list. Here's an overall view: Attached image(s) |

What remains is to pressure test it, take it to a radiator shop for cleaning, and decide if I want to use it. On the plus side: once finished, it would have the general "look" of a GT cooler, being aluminum and the right architecture, and there's no reason to believe it's contaminated. On the downside, it is a little banged up and there is no way to guarantee that it is clean inside.
I must say, this part has not turned out quite as nice as I would have preferred. Perhaps others will learn from my experiments. |
