6.1 Hemi 69 Barracuda Fastback Father Son Project
Slow going lately... I did cut bigger (12") holes in the fan shroud.
Trimmed off a little of the shroud edges to fit it as close to the radiator as possible and still leave about half an inch of clearance. I cut slots into the radiator's shroud mounting surface so I could use 1/4-20 stainless bolts to attach the shroud to the radiator.
Used the same 1/4-20 x 3/4" hex head bolts to attach the fans to the shroud.
Champion Radiator PN# CC1643B - 21 3/4" x 21 3/4" x 3 1/8" with 26"x17" Core
Champion Shroud PN#1643FS12
I ordered the radiator directly from champion but I had them replace the 1.5" inlet with a 1.75" inlet to match the size of the thermostat opening. I figured if it was going to need a 1.75" hose, it might as well fit on both ends. “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“
Our car has US Car Tool's Full Core Support set up with the opening to fit the 26" wide Champion Core width.
I was originally going to try a single 16" fan but it was only 1600 CFM and the 12" Spal fans are 1328 + 1328 or 2656 CFM combined. Will set them up for 1 or 1+1 based on demand.
Oh, and the 12" fans have more clearance from the front of the engine than the singe 16" in our car, by a couple inches. I like that a lot more too.
It's sitting in my office right now, as I have been working on it and test fitting it all together before I paint it all black.
Disassembled the original stock gas pedal assembly, cleaned, painted and reassembled it.
