Re: Radiators

[Ollie <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jay,
You asked for some insight, so here comes some free advise.
I just spent $2K to relocate my battery to the trunk and install a custom 
built triple pass aluminum crossflow radiator that runs from frame rail to 
frame rail. in my 65 Satellite.
I removed a custom built aluminum stock size radiator that did not cool my 
engine.
I would assume the previous owner had to do some cutting and modification on 
the radiator support wall to mount the radiator. If that is the case it too 
would have to be replaced.
Cooling is an major issue when dealing with any "antique" vehicle, 
especially with modified engines.You would be shocked at a car show to find 
out that allot of them have cooling issues, regardless of "brands"
My best advise if your vehicle runs at a normal operating temp, be happy and 
pleasantly surprised and leave well enough alone.
Ollie
