[67ZL1]

Yeah I'm anxiously waiting for some one to report on these. I'm thinking about getting one this week.

[Alex Hayley]

[thirdstreettito]

I'll have to look into getting one of these!

[Senator350]

[weircc]

hey i wanted to post some input i bought one of these off brand rad. and fan kits of ebay was around 550 bucks about three years ago for my camaro never ever had i had a problem and im running a 468 bbc and i don't show no mercy on her, stays around 180-190 even on a 90+ degree day.money well spent.if you guys want i can post some pics tomorrow just let me know. oh yea im running 4 speed also so don't know about trans temp but just get a tranny cooler pretty cheap, and i will be ordering for my 67 soon.

now i wanna say i don't know if this is same manufacture but it was the generic off ebay.

Huh? Y not? I've seen some that have been repaired. They were 4 wheeler radiators but still aluminum.

anybody installed one of these yet on a 67-72 truck??

[GASWAGON]

I just got mine. Really nice. Relay harness is O.E. quality. The radiator looks great and is nicer than my BECOOL in the GTO. My upper mounting brackets don't line up with the original holes in the core support when installed on the new radiator tanks. No big deal. Fits with a sb and long pump in the foward mounting position. Let you know how it cools in a couple of weeks.

I have one ordered. If it is anything like it looks in the pictures it will be great.

I got mine zipped tied in place now, trying to get it to fit with new core
support. I have been searching for it, haven't found it yet but there is a
build thread where somebody besides me has one of the entropytec
radiators. I think it's TarvisH but couldn't find it. I need to find out what
to do about lower cushions, upper cushions. bracket mounting etc. I can
figure something out, but if someone has already blazed the trail, I'd
sure appreciate some ideas. I have cut the lower cushion brackets out,
(installed crooked anyway) and bought both sizes of the cushion inserts
from Summit and some generic brackets. So far not to keen on using them.
I would like to have some nice aluminum brackets, that would enable me
to mount both a power steering resevoir and a radiator overflow tank.

Did you get any tips on which support brackets work the best? I just ordered mine from Tony and am awaiting its arrival. Not sure whether either of the stock brackets would work.

pocoloco71 that post is on the 2nd page of this thread

I widened the small block brackets 3/4" of an inch and cut the cushions in half to fit.

[GASWAGON]

I used the stock brackets and trimmed them at the front. The side facing the core support. I then trimmed the cushions the same way. I also had to trim a little off the right side (looking from the drivers seat)of the core support on my 67. No big deal. The rad/fans works excellent. My only trouble is it cools so well that , with the current temp, where I live (50-60F) the truck runs too cold(150-160) thats not good for the engine. I bought a different fan switch from summit to turn the fans on at 195f and off at 180f. Still doesn't get up to temp until after sitting for some time then the fans kick in and the temp drops fast!! Driving it doesn't get up at all. I highly reccomend his products and his service has been great. I have also ordered a fan and shroud for another project and he gave me a great deal!!

I'm still not quite there yet, but I did take some mock up photos. We decided to make a custom top mount instead of using the stock mounts (stock mounts in picture to show fitment) and we completely removed the bottom mounts from the radiator core support. The rubber retainers surprisingly work well down in the bottom radiator shelf area without the metal retainers and they hold the radiator perfectly. The top mounts are perfect...if you don't have to put the rubber in them. With the rubber, they are too narrow. Hence the reason some have been modifying their retainers to widen them to fit this radiator. We elected to go the custom route since we wanted something to cover the wires, space, etc that is between the top of the radiator and the top of the core support. I'll update this thread once we get that built to show you what we did. Will be a bit yet. We have a paint date of 11/09/09 and then it will be somewhere around 1 month before we get it back.













We had to add a little notch in the center of the radiator support frame at the bottom to allow the radiator to sit this far down in the tray. There is a screw that holds the fans on at the bottom that was coming in contact with the core support at the bottom. But it was an easy fix. You can see that notch the best in the third pic.

More pics in next reply....

These next pics show the fitment of the stock upper core support mounts:
