OK I know that the 4bt runs cool. But how cool? I will be using it in my
'48 CJ3A (GVW approx 2200), slow speed offorading, max highway speed of 65mph, 35" tires, 4spd T-19 tranny.
The stock radiator needs to go for clearance issues (too thick). There are really no performance (i.e. thinner) replacement radiators available, and I DO NOT want to pay for a custom job.
So junkyard, here I come! On initial investigation, it appears as if a Honda Civic/del sol (1992-2000) radiator may be the right size, and as a bonus, the inlet/outlets are in the approx. correct locations. bounce
So the hundred dollar question: is this enough cooling, or am I getting myself into trouble?
BTW, I am not sure of the thermostat rating (suggestions?), and I will be running electric fan(s), and possibly a Volvo intercooler.
Also, I just wanna wish everyone here a very blessed, prosperouse, happy, and smokey new year!
