Well, the cracked water neck at the end of the job stopped the Small 6 to Big 8 radiator swap till tomorrow, but all is well and till it sprung a leak, the heater came alive and melted the sneakers off GoodWife Sharps. Follow along, I'll post up the final finish tomorrow eve if the water neck arrives.
The old, small radiator in there, 2 rows and original Harrison. 1.75" bottom hose, 1.5" top hose diameters.
No drain plug so old school, messy, hard way.
These old red heater hoses are very soft and squishy.
Once drained, remove the 6 cylinder radiator top mount and save it for a 100 point restorer.
Big 3 core V8 radiator on the left...new and out of Ol John Lee. Wee lil I6 radiator on the right, old, not leaking but old and it came out of John Lee Jr.
Next get inside the radiator support and unbolt the giant airdams for the wee lil I6 radiator.
Wee lil airdams for the big giant V8 Radiator on the left...big giant airdams for the wee lil I6 radiator on the right.
Wee lil I6 radiator mounts for the I6 in the front. There not in the way and since they are rivited on, they stay there.
