yeah its raining here too

 

More rain here. lol about a minute after I looked outside and saw that the sky didn't look too rain-apt, it started sprinkling. Now it's a steady rain. Oh well.

 

I picked up a 3 row core '79-'82 radiator today.



Now that the white truck is running, I can move it out of the way and get back to work on the GLC. I can now get it out of the garage and start some serious metal work to fit the radiator and start patching up the tranny tunnel, and building an exhaust. There was no way I was going to weld that much in my small garage (too much manganese in the smoke).

 

cool.at least you have one repu ready to go.Just need the other one running then the mg.one day they will all run at once right jeff? I know the feeling about welding in a small garage.I have been doing that alot lately and its not fun.So your going with a Series 1 rad now instead of a SE one?

 

Correct. The SE style was way too tall for such a short front end. I borrowed a 2 core short rad to test-fit and it almost leaped into place. All I need to do is trim the rear hanger tabs and use the front 6mm x 1.00 fan shroud holes, or try to work with the rear tabs in some way. So far, the fan shroud holes seem like the best ones to use, even though they're kinda smallish. Maybe it won't matter. what'ya think?



Edit: yeah, they'll all run at the same time some day (this year).

 

So what shroud is that your planning to use?

 

I may not actually be able to even fit a fan shroud, or at least not a stock one. I'll keep an eye on temperatures with the 13B in there.



I think those small front bolts should be ok to hold the weight of the radiator. The oil cooler probably won't be connected to it, thus saving weight. I think the small bolts will be fine.

 

I think I will try a S13 240sx e-fan on my SE rad. I hear it fits so I might as well.I don't want no pesky clutch fan.

 

I think Summit sells a dual fan kit that fits the SA style radiators. That may be in my future.



A 240SX fan you say? I've been kicking around a rotary in a VW bus idea for a little while. The tall SE rad seems like the best one due to the large surface area. Of course an electric 16" fan fits the core perfectly. Heh, only a 10" electric fan fits the SA rad (like in the MG).



I removed the FI injector block-off kit from the 20B and dropped in the stock primary injectors. I'll just use them and the secondaries as block-offs for now, and then someday I'll go FI. I've gotta find a secondary fuel rail soon.

 

Why are you looking for a rail?
