Damn you work fast! How many hours a day do you put into your project? I'm envious.

so good.... in for the updates. this only makes me want to start my swap. I am putting a forged 5.7 in my 65 dart with twins.

Alter K arrived from RMS. Bolted right in. Nice looking piece. Bill was very helpful although was quick to point out that this install would not be easy. "Get out your torch and hack saw!"

Had to cut into the frame rail for alternator clearance.

Test fit. Tight but no interference.

New Custom Radiator. Ordered from Northern. Chris was great to work with.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

On to the radiator installation. Had to notch the frame rails a tad.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Opened up the radiator support to maximize airflow.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Welded up openings in radiator support to conform with the radiator.

Very nic e

On all of my projects I like to cut out the top of the radiator supports and make them "removable". It makes engine installs much easier, especially with the transmission connected. I plan on installing and removing my motor and trans from underneath but not everyone has a lift.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

With the top of the support out, I fabbed and a welded in some brackets that I threaded.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Here it is installed.

Looks awesome! If you haven't put the hood on temporarily to check clearance, it might be a good idea. It would be awful to smush the fill neck of that purty new radiator!

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Nice touch

Thanks!

Too late! But I should still check before paint.

Cut out the entire tunnel. The NAG1 wasn't even close with the stock sheet metal.

Since I had to cut out the upper factory reinforcement to fit the NAG1 as well cut out the lower support for exhaust, I had to fab an upper support that tied in to the lower support.
