Re: V8 swap in AD

Can't tell on that but a stock type radiator most likely fit with the subframe anyhow. The steering box takes up the space where the left bottom corner of the radiator wants to be. One reason I don't do subframe or frame swaps. The minor cash saving over buying an after market crossmeber is lost in the trouble you have fitting sheet metal and radiators. Just stop an think what headaches you have had since you decided to use that front suspension and those you face including mounting the front bumper.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
