Think twice about "custom" aluminum radiator from B&B
I have sent a laundry list of modifications to the "custom" aluminum radiator to B&B. I bought mine with the shroud and fan, so that may have complicated things, but in any event, I found it to be less than custom. I would think twice before shelling out the cash.
|
why are people changing the radiator on the B&Bs. are there a heating problem with the stock rad. I know I did have a hell of a time installing a fan. I had to space the rad. out at the bottom about 3/4" so it wouldnt hit the steering.
|
i did think the stock rad would cool 450 horses and not want to pay there price for the stock rad when i could get an alum one that cools better and looks great for $180 at summit.Now i wish i had ! these mounts are so stupid , it is driving me crazy. Any pics of posible solutions would be great!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Are you saying you have the Summit, or that you have the B&B? The mounts work OK, although I have concern on the stress that will be put on the upper mounts with the little bit of aluminum is there.
|
sorry my computer jumps around sometimes (words in the wrong order) i did not think the stock rad would cool 450 horses. I bought a Howe rad from summit and a fan off a t-bird. getting it to work is a real pain.

Hi Guys , So has anyone found a aluminum radiator that actully fits a B&B?
|
Most will fit but I had one made for me by a guy in New Jersey (Arts Radiator) and it was the best $450 I spent. Only a two core but the cores are a full 1" tubes and its a cross flow and I have never had heating problems once I got all the air out. Unfortunately, I don't think Art is still in business but there is a company in Arizona that I am told does a very good job too.
