Both were pretty great. I was in the mountains both places and the views were amazing.
Haven't finished installing the radiator. The one in my truck now (stock SBC rad) is 17" tall. The 454 radiator is 19" tall but is the same length. I went on LMC and found a 454 radiator top bracket. It mounts flush with the top of the core support instead of mounting on the side like the SBC brackets. I'll keep y'all updated when I get it installed hopefully later this week (depending on when my bracket gets in).
I should have like a 2 core now (the plastic/aluminum one is 1/3 as thick as the 4 core) so hopefully the new radiator will cool much much better.
