Radiator for "in tank" cooling system:

[Rex Schimmer]

If you are thinking about building a "radiator in tank" cooling system for your car I have the perfect radiator, pro built by Ron Davis, 23x4x3.5 thick. Using a full size radiator is a giant case of over kill, this radiator in a good tank will cool a 500 hp + engine no problem and you won't have a huge tank. $150 you pay shipping.

Oh, good lord.  I can't change out a set of floats without Buddy swooping in on all the good stuff.

Sorry Chris!

Stan convinced me that I needed the water in the rear of the car for weight, and not in the front.

Woody convinced me that pressurizing my tank was, at the least, going to 'bulge' it.

Rex's post convinced me I need a 'radiator in a box'.

I, therefore, convinced the wife that I needed the money for this!

Chris,
I can get another one if you really want one, I think, I also have a set of great approx 15 x15 x 3-1/2 thick double pass radiators, also Ron Davis fabed,  if you think that might work for you better. Let me know.

Thanks, Rex, but no, that's okay.  I fished out the drain for the bathtub today - that's enough plumbing for one season.

An advantage with a radiator in a tank is that the tank doesn't need to be pressurized and its size isn't critical . As long as the engine water contains antifreeze or is pressurized the tank water can boil harmlessly . The lower boiling temperature at 4200' is an advantage . As long as the tank radiator is submerged the return water won't go much above 204 deg .

There is some good logic here!.... I am going to have to remember all of this!.... especially the last line....

I had Buddy beat to the gun but passed when I decided that I needed to stick to my original plan...........which means one of those 15x15 rads might work Rex. Can you shoot me a couple pictures and a price? Thanks, Trent

[Rex Schimmer]

Trent,
Here are a couple of pictures of the double pass radiator. Dimensions are 15 inches side to side and 15-1/2 across tank, 3-5/8 wide across tanks, core is 3 inch, connections are 1-1/2 and 1/3/8 inch. This is a double pass radiator so it works very well with lower flow water pumps. $150 plus shipping.

Thanks for the shots Rex, I am in a holding pattern for the moment.

[Rex Schimmer]

I just shipped this one to a guy in Idaho that is building a really bitchen 34 modified comp coupe for Bonneville.

I do know where there are more.

I may be interested in one but waiting to get the car home first. Are these something that may be availible in the next few months?

[Rex Schimmer]

Thundersalt,
I was planning to put the 15 x15 in my little modifed but ended up selling but I think I can get at least one maybe two more and I am going to the supplier today to check. I'll let you know.

I just got two more of the 15 x 15 double pass units and another of the long narrow units. Again they are $150 each plus shipping. These are in great shape and pro built, Ron Davis.
