WERKS has built a 4 row radiator with oil cooler for my 480 hp V8. Shown with ac coil.

Rear shroud has a 10 and 12 inch fan.

Let us know how well it works

That is Awesome! I'm really debating a bigger radiator for my car. In houston especially the past few days, I've seen coolant temps get close to like 216* in traffic going home after work

Man this is just awesome! Wish I could have this for my car so I could run the half and one mile

Ron Davis Radiators he custom builds them for your car and has done a few for Kappas .I've got some friends who race and a couple of guy's who have big cube muscle cars that have his products and they are very pleased with them and his prices are reasonable .

Hmm May have to look into that! Its hot and humid down here in houston!

Is that a 4 row, or just 2 radiators welded together with the coolant exit on one connected to the coolant intake on the other?

Isn't the kappa designed as a bottom sucker?

RobertAshby · « **Reply #9 on:** September 04, 2015, 09:28:27 AM »

Yes, stock scoops from road and mine will be funneled into radiator thru grill.

My aviation background is screeming that none of that aluminum is protected. It'll start corroding. Especially where the steel hardware bolts the bottom plate to the side ones. Dissimilar metal corrosion will start there and fast, all it needs is some moisture and that won't take long.

Easy to disassemble all the aluminum bits and powdercoat everything.

RobertAshby · « **Reply #12 on:** September 08, 2015, 09:33:50 AM »

Specifically asked for no powder coating etc, wanted aluminum look, ie the cobra. I live in the desert too so corrosion forcthe most part is no problem . . . . .

Robert-
Make sure you separate the two different metals. Use rubber bushing or something. All you need it a little moisture in the air to cause major issues.

Helios · « **Reply #14 on:** September 08, 2015, 08:14:33 PM »

Yep. Use bi-metal tape or you could probably even spray a coat or two of plasti-dip to separate the contact points of the different metals.

RobertAshby · « **Reply #15 on:** September 10, 2015, 07:36:55 PM »

I'm missing something here. An aluminum shrouding bolted to aluminum radiator is corroding ?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #16 on:** September 10, 2015, 07:44:53 PM »

If you use steel bolts, yes. If the aluminum contacts another metal than you have what's needed for dissimilar metal corrosion. The dry climate in Phoenix will help but if you wash your car or drive it anywhere more humid you increase your risk.

Hopefully Dave at PAW knows what He is doing !

No haggle sale price for car, $40,000 . . . .

LatinVenom · « **Reply #19 on:** September 24, 2015, 04:18:48 PM »

Robert if after getting the car you still want to sell it, you may want to considered getting a 2013 Z06 or a 2014 Z51 Vette. once you sell it.
Good luck

RobertAshby · « **Reply #20 on:** October 11, 2015, 12:26:26 PM »

My exact thoughts ! Pretty sure it will come back as a fully working car this time. Once I get to know the car as fully functional for the first time since beginning this motor swap/upgrades I will know more about how I feel. The offer to sell still stands as of today.

RobertAshby · « **Reply #21 on:** October 23, 2015, 03:54:07 PM »

I think the car is almost ready ! Just need rear ABS to work with TC system, possible shielding problem, should know soon.

RobertAshby · « **Reply #22 on:** November 03, 2015, 01:28:39 AM »

Still not being finished in a timely manner. APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER and now NOVEMBER. Think long and hard before you trust someones word . . . .

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #23 on:** November 03, 2015, 10:26:36 AM »

Yikes.
There is a trend in long car builds lately.

username · « **Reply #24 on:** November 04, 2015, 03:53:55 PM »

This isn't a "trend" this is a shop advertising services that they aren't capable of following through on, and having poor time management practices.
