9940, twin core radiator
Posted by rpm97talon, Nov-21-01 12:06 AM
Hey guys Ive been reading about everyones cooling problems. I figured that into my wierd set up and had a radiator shop fab a radiator just for me. The total was 200 bucks. See the stock radiator is a single core on a five speed and the auto is a twin core with a trans cooler reservior at the bottom. The thing I see most is to clear your hahn or star set up, you eliminate a fan. Well this will work but you've got a whole side of the core exposed and not being cooled. The other thing I see is when people try to keep both fans and then you melt the shroud off. Well both of these concepts are wrong. They will work however. I'm not bagging on you're set ups I just am telling you the cost of mine. The main thing is the fan. I had the radiator made and then bought a 1600 -1700 fan from spal slim line. Like i've said before go out side the box make this thing your own. The fan is the exact size of the radiator. The fan ended up costing right around 120$ so with this said let me see if deeno can post a pic. late mike

I like his radiator setup. it's very nice, inexpensive, cools very well.. and frees up a ton of space.

You are way too defensive and worry way too much what others think. Get rid of the chip on your shoulder. Nice setup. Good ideas. Active thinking. You have all of these. Quit thinking the world hates you. The world needs no one and it would go on without any of us. Once you can deal with that, you find life is grand and great.
