Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

Struggling a bit with the rear coil conversion kit from CPP...lower brackets are bending down. I pulled them, straightened them, and welded in some gussets...we'll see if this lasts or if they will need to be completely redone.

Little video from before we tore it apart again for bigger, better cooling...

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

We reached out to CBR for some cooling options on both tranny and engine, here's what I've got mounted so far...should help with keeping tranny cooler.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

We knew we needed a lot more cooling capacity/air flow than the old 27x19 radiator pkg. had provided.

After a bit of back and forth with CBR, we ended up with a 3" thick, 38x19, double-pass radiator that incorporates a unique tube design which dramatically increases the effective tube surface area and a core design that reduces the spacing between tubes from 9mm to 6mm...which means more tubes.

All in all, we have a radiator that has over twice the surface area with 2 16" Spal fans pulling 5000 cfm's through it...I don't think overheating is going to be a problem.

Our challenge is making it fit...opening up the inner fenders and making a completely new radiator support is the plan.
