Spent the day putting in my Griffith Radiator and new Flex Cool hose’s in my car.  Both are great quality and craftsmanship.  The radiator took some minor modifications to get the stock fan shroud on, but other than that bolted right on.

Hey Vertman

Can you let me know why you went with a clutchfan and what kind of pulleys are those. I'm kinda considering going stock or maybe some nice new aluminum ones.

Thanks,
Bryan

Hi Bryan,

I choose to go with the clutchfan as I didn’t want to run electric fans (for now), and to keep the stock look.  If the stock system works and keeps my motor cool, then I will continue to run the fan clutch, if not I will then go with electric fan(s).
I am running the March pulley setup, as I didn’t want the hassle, with piecing together all the pulleys for my setup, plus I wanted the serpentine belt look.  It cost a little more, but was pretty much a bolt in system, I only had to do two minor modifications to make the system work with the aluminum heads.

It would look even better if I had it over here with me :smilielol:


I just finished converting CudaGuys car over to standard disc brakes.  Now for plug wire insulators, re set the valves and then rip out his under the dash a/c system. nHe is so close to taking it home, if he ever leaves Hawai :faint:

I will be installing my grill so my body/paint guy can get the correct contour on the drivers side front fender instead of guessing at it like he did the first time.I have not been able to install the headlight bezel.
Taking the car to the muffler shop next Thursday and the painters next Sunday.
