Re: 8.1L and 4L85e swap into a 1972 Custom Camper 4WD

Really makes me want to get my 8.1 swap going after seeing this one. I can only imagine how an 8.1 will drive in my shortbed 4x4. Also what radiator is that in post #42?

The radiator is the original that came in the original truck. Remember, it is a 3/4 T Custom Camper, so it I likely the most radiator that GM offered in its light trucks back then. It has now seen a few miles with the 8.1L and has no trouble keeping it cool. Admittedly, we haven't done any heavy hauling or towing, but I think it is plenty for the job.

Oh ok that's what I was planning on using on mine. Now I just have to find a fan that will fit in a factory shroud.
