The cardone box will be fine. I'm using one myself. But he did ask if Lee was better. I'm just saying. I actually really appreciate the reality of this build. That's why I subscribed.

Well Tsnow, I don't have the "mad skills" you do so I need something plug-n-play!

LoL! I dont have any "mad skills" just poor and have to get by with what I have. I would agree with you on the plug and play. I would rather have BMF's radiator anyways I was just kiddin with ya.

Nice radiator. I've been following your build along with Tsnow's. Very nice builds guys. Do you know how much horsepower the radiator is good for? I know many factors take play but I wanted one that will handle the high horsepower and heat of some twin turbos down the road. I figured a double pass radiator would be the way to go.

Thanks BBC! I am not sure on mine as to what HP rating it has. I agree on the many factors that play into the cooling effects. For example: I had a crossflow 3 row copper radiator in front of the SBC before I started this build and it cooled the 327 down and maintained a constant 195F with the mechanical fan so I decided to put an electric fan on it that should have had more than enough flow. It turns out it could hardly keep the temp down. This fan was a RAD single fan that had the shroud and vents made into it. Fit the core almost perfect except about 1/2" per side was left open. So fans play a big part, thermostats, type of water, condition of water pump, thickness of cylinder walls, compression, air pockets, outside temp, and the list goes on and on. I say bigger is better on the radiator. I am using the computer to cut the fans on and off as BMF is using a stand alone temperature control unit. According to what I have read the double pass radiators for sure cool better as the water will spend more time in the radiator. I opted for the 180 degree thermostat as a safe guard. I am not sure if I should have done that. I will let you know hopefully before too long. BMF keep us updated on what works for you as I will do the same.

I do not know what it will support,all I know is that he says it's made from his 67-69 big block c

well i just ordered wheel today for the car,foose legends from driverzinc.
went with a 18x8 front with a 5 inch back space.tire will be 245-40-18..
went with a 18x9 in the rear with a 5 1/4 back space.tire will be 275-40-18..
the rims should clear the c5 brake upgrade as well.

I think it would be better if you went ahead and ship the wheels to me! I will let you know how they look so you can order up another set for you. Looks great and will really set the Camaro off! Makes my rallys look like hub caps off of a Pinto!!!

ishmael

I've got the same rims from the same place with the same tire size. Man they look good.

I'm diggn the Entrophy rad, but my concern is the radiator is NOT a dual pass design, I'm thinking that for what I'll be doing needing a dual pass with a 5000 CFM Cop car fan will better suit my needs, or did I miss something in the ebay discription,

Liking the wheels,

bmf5150

Ishmael,post a pic,would love to see it!!!

ishmael

The car is in the air with the front end off. The rear is back in but its hanging. Still, I deliberated over wheels for over a year and I'm glad I went with them. They just look right.

bmf5150

Yeah,have to get what works for u!I don't plan on doing much more to my engine other than a magnacharger tvs 2300 ,I think the radiator will be Plenty for that!

Man I hope so, you have a number for him, because it's a really nice piece!!!

Looks like a double pass to me. Look at the right side tank and the weld dividing the top from the bottom. Normally if both the inlet and outlet are on the same side it will be a double pass otherwise the coolant would flow directly down the tank and render the radiator useless.

Here is his description from eBay...
"This is our heavy duty Entropy aluminum radiator for the '67 - '69 Camaro and Firebird with 11.5" HP fans and an aluminum shroud. MADE IN THE USA. This listing is for a LS1/LS2/LS3/LS7 swap radiator for either a manual transmission or automatic version setup for a 4L60e (please specify at checkout). This radiator has all of the correct connections required for swapping a LSX into your first generation fbody, with both hose connections on the passenger side as shown. This radiator will fit both original big block and small block cars, as well as all 67 - 69 firebirds. This unit is built using the HD big block core from our big block 1st gen fbody radiator handle the most demanding summer conditions with the A/C blasting. This bolts in directly - no holes to drill or a trip to the hardware store for a parts hunt or drilling holes in your core support. Also included is the aluminum shroud with high powered 11.5" paddle blade fans (not the cheap lower powered fans) delivering a TRUE 3000 CFM. Together, they pull 35-40 amps (check the current rating on the cheapy fans that claim to pull high CFM).dum

Like all of our radiators, it's made with pride in the USA with USA made cores. Unlike most radiators, our cores are purpose built for high performance cooling and not standard passenger car (PC) cores. All of our radiators are fully TIG welded, use heavy duty transmission coolers, no epoxy, a billet filler neck, brass overflow connections and a brass drain ****.

For a plug-and-play wiring kit, please see our other auction for the thermostatic sealed relay wiring kit.

FAQ

We've been offering our Entropy USA made radiators on Ebay for over five years. We make what we sell and all of our radiators are made in house. We've sold 1000s of radiators to many repeat customers and referrals of customers.

How can your radiator be half the price of X-Cool if it's a high quality unit?

Quite simply, we don't have a bunch of middle men fleecing money out of your pockets and running the price up. With a typical high performance product company, there are a bunch of distribution middle man that don't add any value to the product but since they need a slice of the pie, they run the price up. By selling directly to our customers without wholesalers, warehouse distributors, jobbers, product represenatives, etc, in the way, we can keep our costs way down. We also don't have a big marketing budget that most companies employ, which also runs the price you pay up.

How does your radiator compare to the same X-Cool brand cooling module that is twice the price?

Our units are fully precision TIG welded, made with heavy duty cores and purpose built for the application.These days, many high performance radiator companies only TIG weld the top section of the radiator and have unskilled workers MIG weld the rest of the radiator. We do not do this. Our radiators are 100% TIG welded, made with high grade aluminum alloy tanks, billet machined components and will hold their own next to any familiar brand unit costing 2X or 3X more.

What type of cap and coolant do you recommend using?

An 18 PSI or higher cap is recommended. Prestone coolant is recommended for it's superior corrosion resistance.

Do you make custom radiators?

Yes we welcome custom inquiries. Just ask.
