WTB FC Cooling setup
« on: September 25, 2023, 02:26:27 PM »
Looking for cooling setup including radiator, hoses, fans, etc.  Basically hoping to find a setup that is as complete as possible.  Will be going into a 1988 vert with a vette LS1.  PM me if you have anything available!

I believe in an FC you can fit a 27.5x19" radiator.... but a 27.5x15.5 or similar should be more than enough.  I have the smaller one in my FD and it cooled an LS7 track car with no issues (fully ducted up front).
I like Howe which are good bang for the buck.  There are plenty of cheaper ones....

On my cars I run a Ford Taurus 16" fan which pulls a ton of CFM.  The Volvo V70 and similar fans also work great.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be going this route
