I was trying to find out what radiator guys were using who are running 331 cadillacs in their 1932 fords . Are you using the corresponding Cadillac radiator that came with the 331 or does it not work size wise on a 1932 Ford ? I don’t have an old cad radiator to test fit so i figured I’d ask some guys who are running 331’s what they have found success using that works fitment wise. Thanks !
If you plain to use 32 shell , For stock 32 shell Standard Walker C or Z equivalent ,( z for big cid & ac ) Also BrassWorks both $700- 1 K new Or Flea bay aluminum $200 one , but not Direct bolt in /fitment like original, I have ran the Flea bay on 600 hp plus with no problems I prefer copper and brass
My situation was a little bit different because I already had a radiator. I had a Walker radiator set up for a flathead. Since it was a good radiator, I had a local radiator shop change the inlets and outlets for me. But, it was a radiator for a '32. I would imagine the Cadillac radiator wouldn't fit in a '32 all that well.
That makes sense , I will see if I can have em modify my existing 32 radiator that was for a Flathead and change the outlets to the location needed for the caddy. Thanks !
Why not cap off one on top & bottom? (Brass freeze pugs) I did this to a 32 v8 rad because I change engine combos
Oh ok, that sounds even easier . Just will have to get some different shaped radiator hoses to route to the new location
I’m running a caddy in a 63 ford Radiator shop built me a 63 Ford radiator with caddy hose inlets and outlets
I am running a 472 Caddy with a Brassworks in a 32 shell. Lee put the Cad inlet/outlet on his core size for a 32 grille. Works great.
