Chevy 350 Vortec

thats what the MAN would want me to do!

i had a 350 vortec in my old cruiser, i hated that motor, ill never run anything but toyota, in a toyota.

the truck is on the oposite side of the valley from where i live so its hard to get out there and work on it.

my clip has a small section taken out of the front middle but its done so in a way i can easily weld it back. but im not scared to sawzall more if i have to the radiator is out of a v6 toy truck.

I'm using a radiator for a 67 mustang its a three core and had mounting flanges and its about four inches narrower than the stock 22r i just used some strap and drilled holes to match up it has worked good other than its to small for the 350 are you planning on running a mechanical fan or are you going electric ?

 

[SUPERFLY]

im running an electric fan, how thick is the radiator? where are the ports for the hoses?

 

[crazyyo]

both are pass side i went to the parts store in they helped me figure out some hoses i just bent a hanger that was the shape i needed and figured out what size i needed if your looking into a differnt radator i will be selling that one

Yeah, no kidding. I hate motors with lots of power and parts you can find anywhere and everywhere.

If he were to elaborate, i'm sure he mention the shop that converted did a horrible job, and that's why he disliked his 350 vortec experience.

Kiel - you expected more?
