Re: [T3]Placement of radiators for a Subaru engine (was: New Listee :-) )


I have it now!!!

I can see a few likely places to fit them... although I may just build a
good 1600 or 1835 or something... :-) or a low pressure forced induction
(turbo/super charger :-) I also want EFI, and may retro fit a unit (early
toyota or a "homemade" sytem :-)

Awesome :-)

One location that the A/C radiator 'thingy' was placed in the T3 was the gap
behind the spare tire well and in front of the front axle.  The other
location was a 1/2 radiator in the forward section of the front fenders (one
behind each headlamp).  There's a good deal of space in the front and rear
fenders!  I would think you could put 1/2 radiators in the rear fenders, so
long as you keep the rear plenum open so air can flow out, maybe put a
diverter at the bellow location to push the waste air down.  Just some ideas
:)
