Bobs V8 Roadster Build

[robo]

The 302 for mounts are a simple thing with just a bolt passing through them so I spun up some spacers on the lathe.








And started making the profiles from cardboard to transfer to 3mm steel.

The landrover discovery rad seems to be a nice snug fit in the nose cone , it also has a built in oil cooler/ heat exchanger. its 540mm wide and 420mm high with a tank width of 100mm . These are five core units and will cool anything. It sits about 50mm off the front frame so there are no mounting issues.

WOW.!!
That rad is a major find mate, really like it, but those ITBs HAVE to be on show, they are beautiful.

I was pleased with the rad fit, its just another thing thats out of the way , it will need a recore so I will have a 90 bend fitted to the bottom hose at the same time because its pointing at the bolt on the front lower wishbone, not a problem though. Does seem a shame to hide the ITB`s but they are way to low to be on display

Looking good. I like the green, it's nice and vibrant.

Is there enough room behind the rad for a fan? I made that mistake the first time.

Good point Steve ,I best mock the whole thing up first. There is roughly 2" between the rad and the front frame so there may be a slim fan that will go in there but as you say its best to double check.
