My PO was clearly an idiot becuase he removed the factory clutch fan and replaced it with a 14" Haynes 1900 CFM electric. I was wondering why this thing was overheating so I popped my head in there and found out why. You need to cover over 70% of the radiator and generate 2500CFM or more to cool these motors (depending on which thermo you are running). I have a 180 degree in mine and I got this thing to over 220 the other day. Water boils at 212 so yeah, it was toasty. After talking with flexalite at the Good Guys show I was advised to be right at 2500-2800 CFM. They use a chart that breaks it down by your thermo and HP numbers.
Anyways, on to the question. I searched the site as well as the owners manual and could not get definitive measurements of the core itself. Not the body of the radiator (side tanks, housing etc) but just the core as this is where the fan mounts. With it being tight in the engine bay I couldn't get a good read but came up with 26 1/4 L, 13 3/4 H, and 2 1/4 W. Can someone confirm those measurements? I want to order a flexalite dual setup with thermo control asap and need exact core dimensions to make the decision. I am also up for advice on other folks who have gone to a dual setup. What CFM are you running? What brand fan? Price etc.....Thanks in advance.
