I still have two of the 15x15 double pass units and one of the long narrow 24x4x3.5 radiators. If you are building something and want to go with the "radiator in a tank" cooling option both of these will work. Buddy, Flat Cad Racing, has had great luck with his. Give me a call: 707-484-5721 or E mail: rexschimmer@gmail.com.

Price is $150 each plus shipping.

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.

OK Rex, I NEED the 15x15, no way around it with the layout of the car. Any ideas on an intercooler similar that I can piggyback in the ice/water tank?

Rex, I have been considering the 24x4 for the wifes camaro C/GALTfor a while. I can't seem to keep it cool within reason. How big of a tank do you recon I would have to put it in, in your opion. We run the ECTA mile in wilmington.

Frank, I have that same unit in a 20 gallon tank, and after 3 miles, it doesn't even melt half of the ice! I think I could run plain water, or use half of the size tank I have.

Don't forget, mine's a blown flathead, and still never gets over 185 degrees. It's one of the best things I bought for the car!

Thanks for the info Flattie, that helps. I have plenty of room for a 20 gal. tank. I'll do some calculations to see now small I can get away with.

Buddy --

We've got the same (or more) HP as you -- run 5 miles with less than 18 gal. and have never been over 185 either.  With no extra radiator and fittings to screw around with.

Are these limited supply items, as in "when they are gone, they're gone" or do you have them fabbed in batches?  Very interested in the 15x15 unit but money is a bit tight since I think I finally found a largely unmolested Regal to build.

I thought I would give this post a jack as there is renewed interest in the "radiator in a box" idea.

SOLD!!! Last one went to Montana for a flat motor.

I'll have to check with my supplier for more.
