Throwing that out and going back to the stock intake & filter gave an immediate and noticeable improvement in drivability. A lot of off idle stumble just went away and the butt dyno was pleased to note a power increase.


I just read some encouraging words online that west kootenay radiator might be worth a call

The motor that I bought, off a guy in Victoria, came with that K&N oval cone filter attached directly to the TB, I may replace it with a new one, but definitely keeping it. I've removed the air pump and a/c on it and so moved the alt and ps pump up with a custom bracket like the ones made by March (Revolver model).

So far, without going to a custom rad, I've been looking at this one and pretty sure it will fit... it's about 1" narrower and 1-1/2 shorter but the config is right.

I've also reached out to Champion Radiators to see what they might have in way of what I'm after and waiting to hear on their response. It's a shame you can't narrow all the options down with a sizing chart of core and overall sizes then go through configurations... it would make it so much easier for hotrodders!
