Should have no worries about the car overheating going through the desert to reno. Also made the lower hose so much easier to deal with with the supercharger due to the slight change in the angle. Lots of clearance between the lower hose and the idler pulleys and the frame of the car now.

Took a bit of fitting due to the size of the flanges on the side but once in it fits nice.

The stock radiator was great with the supercharger for the most part and more than enough when stock however in certain conditions on 95 degree+ days the system was being taxed a bit more than I would have liked.

Interesting! Does the horizontal flow help it to be more effective?
 
My first B was a highly worked ove 64. new radiator, electric fan, shroud, nothing worked to keep it cool on a long pull or a really hot day. Had my friend at the local radiator shop ( yes we still have one ) put together a cross flow like this one and never a problem again. Even got to mess with the timing a little more. Ed
 
Looks great. Custom or off the shelf -- from where? My B has a stock radiator and so far it works fine, but it hasn't been abot 70* yet. I'm concerned about it pulling long grades in the summer heat.
 
Off the shelf from wizard radiator. So far its working great however its been so cool lately its to early to give a verdict on cooling.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to have to look into something (most likely) once the real heat hits here.
