Planning on moving radiator...questions.

[yunit]

So, I want to move the radiator in my truggy behind the driver/passenger area. Since I will probably not be running a hood or fenders, the radiator is going be restricting my view now.
1. Do I need to get a higher flowing water pump or will the stock one do?
2. How high can I mount the radiator before I start having problems?


Thanks.

You could get one of these

and be able to fill and bleed the motor easily. Then get mount the radiator as high as you like, higher of course you know means raise in CG and more work to pump up there. That is my plan anyway(though I need a different housing for the LT1 intake).

As for how high you can move it I'm not entirely sure. You can go up a bit with the stock pump, provided your stock pump is in good working order. You can get one of those plates that attaches to the impeller in the pump to increase flow. That will help.

Another tip for you, If you switch to a Ford radiator your inputs and outputs on the rad will be on the correct side once its turned around behind the motor.
