Hello Cold Case!
just got done reading all the posts/threads on your radiators and im really liking the amount of attention/effort you guys have put in to our little C-body segment... we truly are an overlooked, low volume, highly complex group of cars as compared to some of the other brands out there lol.
im 100% ready to pull the trigger on one of your radiator kits... as soon as I have some questions answered that is = )
First, my application: '66 Chrysler Newport with a 440, A/C and an automatic.
engine specs: 350hp 4bbl / 480 lbs-ft of torque with 10:1 compression
its intended use is that of a road tripper.... I live in SoCal but I like heading up the coast, out to Vegas, down to San Diego, up to Big Bear etc. when time allows and I wanna be able to just jump in this thing and go without having to worry about anything - so if I find myself hung over & caught in gridlock on a hot Sunday afternoon just outside of Vegas coming home, I wanna make sure that itll be me puking my fluids out on the side of the road and not my beloved Newport = )
my original shroud is long gone and all i care about is maximum cooling so im looking at purchasing your MOP757AK which is where my questions begin...
1. just wanna confirm that this is indeed the "correct" setup for my car/intended use??? I figure if a MOP753A will cool Gerald Morris' '66 383 Newport in 102degree Tucson rush-hour traffic, then the increased cooling capacity of the MOP757A should be exactly what im looking for since im running AC and he isn't.
2. are the mounting hole alignment issues ive been reading about squared away yet? is it gonna drop right in? obviously im not worried about your shroud/fan assy fitting your radiator, but what about the radiator fitting my car? far be it from me to shy away from adding or adjusting a hole either on your radiator flange or my car, but a "direct OEM fit" is one of your selling points so it would be nice to not have to do that.
3. any issues with the tranny cooler lines lining up with the 757As? I know Gerald Morris had a minor issue with his 22"er, and Saylor (?) had to cut and reflare one of the lines to make his fit - any updates on this?
in closing, just wanna say thank you for sticking it out with us C-body folks - I could easily lay the scratch down on a high dollar Griffin or some "OE approved" resto unit but the fact is you guys are the ones really puttin' in the work to specifically earn our business and it shows and that's what counts in my book.
anywho, hope to hear back soon!
and btw, lets not forget to PM me that special FCBO member discount code ive been hearing about!!! = )
