This will give you an idea what things are looking like. I be happy

 

looking good!

 

Geeeze that came out SWEET, cant wait for the weather to warm up around here so I can start my radiator install. Cant quite make out what # upper hose you are using, could you advise please........Thanks

Also what are you using in the RH side of the lower tank, think it's for your electric fan, am I going to have to plug the opening.....THX

 

Top hose is a 20088. What you're seeing on the bottom right tank is a ball valve, 1/4" NPT on one end, 5/16 hose barb on the other. I plan on putting a small piece of rubber hose on it for cooling system service. One thing I won't tolerate is coolant going all over the place. I own dogs and don't wanna kill 'em. This method will allow me to put the hose in a gallon milk jug and shut it off when it's full. Drain out a gallon of 50/50 antifreeze and distilled water once a year, fill it back up and I shouldn't need to do any other maintenance on the cooling system other than the once every five years hose replacement

 

Looks good. I wonder if you could modify the mounting tabs so it could site farther forward in the original position. Right now it's sitting a full radaiator's width back, closer to the engine. I plan on running an electric fan also but wanted to mount it on the other side so it's setup as a puller.

 

Thank You, I see the ball valve now, guess I will pickup a petcock and a plug....Cheers

 

I'm not sure. My electric fan isn't a slim design, hence the pusher mount. There are slim fans out there, but I have this one. I also mounted it with the aluminum angle because them plastic push pin mounts put a hole in my 65's radiator.

 

If you leave it just where it is you still have plenty of room for a clutch fan. here's my version of your nice set up. Mine runs on ice BTW. Barely makes it past C on the gauge.

 

I'm amazed at how much room you guys have to play with.... My 429 left me with 1/4 inch at each end. I had to cut the front support & put the rad all the way against the opening, which I also had to trim flat.
