First time swap started

Guess I'm a little late but thought I would chime in anyway.
I wanted to keep my original metal radiator so I had a local radiator shop clean and test my 85. They also handled changing the heater hose port to a steam line port. Best $100 I spent. No issues what so ever. cools no problem and the steam line worked great. Just had to fill the upper hose the first time and all went well.

I’m having my doubts about the little reducer working for me long term. It seems to drip a little even with the clamp cranked down, so I’ll need to do something else like this.

I like the conversion the radiator shop did. Looks factory and does the job.
