Re: Converting Lower Radiator Mount for V8

It is a C20 and it may have had the larger I6 292, I never did check the numbers. It just seemed like if the mounts were lower you could put a taller(larger) radiator in it, but perhaps with it above the frame rails, you can put in a wider one. I am going to try and find an aluminum one as I will be towing with it and want the best cooing possible. Thanks for the info guys!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Converting Lower Radiator Mount for V8

Nice link, that looks like the plan, I can probably do something along those lines, in fact my truck will look very similar to his, except for the stance. Thanks again guys!

Re: Converting Lower Radiator Mount for V8

All you need is a V8 upper mount. They are somewhat hard to find, but I eventually got hold of a couple at a swap meet. Most people fab something for an upper mount.
