Can someone tell me if the accessory brackets and pulleys off of an 8.1 (2003ish suburban) will bolt up to my 454? I have aftermarket aluminum heads but I think the holes are the same as the cast iron BBC heads. I’m just thinking it would make for a nice clean setup if it will work.
 
Not trying to be a pain, but why did you get the shorter radiator? I wouldn't change unless you try it and find problems, but...

It came with the pile of parts/trucks I bought in 2013, and both of my big radiators were toast so I thought this one would work good. It was more of a pain than I thought it would be, and I honestly wish I would have just ponied up for a direct replacement. BUT... I didn’t modify anything so I can swap in the big radiator if I decide I don’t like this one. From what I’ve read it’s supposed to be a pretty decent radiator? So hopefully it’ll work the way I want it to. It’s still more of a radiator than the smaller truck radiator so I’m not too worried about it.
 
The local yard has a schoolbus full of radiators and about half of them are good 4 core units. Maybe when you’re out this way we grab one? Can’t imagine airport security would mind.....

Hey we will be driving out for that one! Lol have to head back up by Brainerd again and pick up 4 waverunners. I don’t think I’ll have time to hit up the JY but who knows?
 
Anyone have a picture of a big block with the R4 ac compressor and serpentine/v-belt setup??? I have a metric butt ton of brackets and I thought I figured out where they all go, but obviously I don’t. I’ve wasted my entire day jackin around with this crap and I’m about to push this POS outside and watch it rust away into nothing!
