E fans and towing??

[AtomicHoe094]

i hear ya, i still have all my cars i bought in my life.. lol all 5 of them. 2 of them are my DDs. but the others are fun summer cars..

I have the larger raddiator already installed (stock tow package)...34x19...not sure how many cores. Funny I cant find a 3 core. I have a 3 core in my 91 stang.

Yeah I have the tow package in mine too, I have the big core but when I popped the shroud off this weekend it appears to be a single core ... My new radiator should be here today FedEx. I'll take pics if they are different.

retorq...now you have me wondering about mine.... engine ships tomorrow and I paid for 3 day so hopefully I will see it friday and can start to pull the old one out. I will check mine then. If its a single core I will have to upgrade her. Would love to see picts of both of them. If its a single and I upgrade to a 2 core, electric fans might be an option as long as I stay away from UD's.

someone on here picked up a three core off ebay awhile back (don't recall who it was) there was a thread on here about replacement radiators.

dang, a 3 core would be really sweet. larger capacity and cooling.

gonna have to do a seach...thanks


any sugestions on motor mounts for the Hoe? I figure I might as well replace them since they have 169,000 miles on them but I cant find any for a 5.7L!


EDIT: I just found a thread on here talking about the 2 core being for 2wd no towing and the 1 core for 2wd towing...that makes no sense. More cores means more cooling capacity so the more cores should help with towing...or am I missing something?

Well that makes sense .. I have a 2wd 4 door with towing package. That is kinda screwy then ... I figured the heavier the truck more cores.

No radiator today, it says tomorrow is the expected date so I'll post pics tom nite I guess.

Motor mounts for small block trucks are pretty much the same. You can get poly for these ... I have a poly tranny mount.

I ended up buying motor mounts from Advance auto...along with the heavy duty intake gaskets. Now I just need hoses and a new belt.

I still think the 2 core is for towing...its deisgned to get more heat out of the coolant before reentering the engine. I cant wait to see your radiator. Where did you buy it from?

 

[retorq]

I got mine off ebay:

Double check your old radiator...I think mine is 19" tall and the one you listed is 17". Good find....never realized the 94 blazer radiator fit our trucks.
