I was at work yesterday pulling a heater core out of a car and also took out
the air conditioner heat exchanger. It made me rethink my plan to use a C&R
racing radiator that I purchased recently. It's a 7000 series double pass
with AN 16 fittings and an air bleed hole tapped in. No radiator cap, it was
meant for a remote fill/ surge tank type system. It cost me $332 all told,
only been out of the box once or twice. Anyone interested in it for say, $270
plus shipping? The radiator can be veiwed at http://www.crracing.com/. it is
the mdel 7000, the only difference is that the fittings are on the right side
rather than facing the veiwer like in the depiction.

I'm just building the scoop under my fuselage and I think that I feel more
comfortable with the air flow going straight through  the cores rather than
having to change direction twice. I also like the idea that I can pull out a
couple of air conditioner cores for free at work. ( Our fire department cuts
up junk cars for practice and we can go out and strip stuff off the cars.)
Also, we're getting a TIG welder, so hopefully after some practice I can weld
some AN fittings onto some cores and make some real snazzy heat exchangers
for no money out of pocket. I'm starting to be seduced by Tracy's cheaper (
that is, inexpensive) is better philosophy.
