914 V8 Radiator?
I have this radiator, fan setup from a 1974 Fiat X1/9. Any thoughts on the viability for use with a 914 V8?

Greg, I think it's way too small to handle a V8.

Yeah, its too small; maybe if you had a few of them...
I used a 85 vette radiator, fan and shroud, it cost me a total of 160.00. I have been driving it for two years and 10,000 miles now. Its never seen over 210. I have some pics of my radiator setup here: http://community.webshots.com/user/marksurel I used the vette radiator because it was the shortest one I could find. Mark 72 914 5.0L |

Can someone please tell me the dimensions of this radiator, as well as the dimensions of the X19 radiator?
Im working on a custom build car, that has little to no room for a radiator, and need a short, but wide radiator for it. The industry rule of thumb for hp to radiator Ive been told, is 1 cubic (1" x 1" x 1") inch of radiator to 1 hp. So a 10 x 12 x 2" thick radiator provides minimum cooling to 240 HP if properly located and ducted for clean airflow. Please let me know on this! My project is on hold until I can find the right radiator. |
