Radiators: Is 22" enough for 400 HP?
While the old 19 inch radiator was out, I did take the time to mock up the new 26 inch radiator.
I was able to line up two of the top holes of the radiator brackets to pre-existing holes in the core support. They lined up almost perfect, but I did notice that the radiator was a bit crooked. I don't know why that is.
I also noticed that the radiator hits the bottom of the core support on the drivers side. The passenger side, I'm able to stick a finger between the radiator and the lower part of the core support.
I did try closing the hood and it appears that there is no interference, but it's a little hard to tell. I'm guessing my '74 Duster hood has more clearance than earlier model hoods.
What should I do about it being crooked? You'll see what I mean in the pictures.
I'll attach some pictures of my son and I mocking it up.
