Default 67 Nova LS radiator?

I have been looking at several swaps and have this question about radiator inlets/outlets. I was looking at dual pass Afco units with both inlet and outlet on the passenger side. I am looking at one of these units to clean up upper hose routing. I am using an f body water pump also.

Any thoughts??
Thanks
Jay

The dual pass radiator will make your air inlet and upper hose routing much easier.....Hoses on the passenger side and air inlet to the driver side.


I have an entropy and it is nothing short of Sweet!

We have the Afco in a 62 Wagon and fit and finish is nice.It is a little smaller than the Entrophy unit.The Acfo has no provision for the steam line but it can be worked around.

Opps. Nova 404, what is the part number on your rad? Is the fan an Afco unit also?

As far as steam line plumbing goes, can the steam line be plumbed into the rad tank instead of the upper hose? I was thinking of using a -3 or -4 AN line for it.

Thanks guys!
Jay

Not sure which part number it is,I think its the 80287NLS-1.The fan is a Derale unit #16217 two speed.

Steam line can go to the radiator tank,top hose,heater hose,or tapped into the suction side of the water pump

Forgot in the other post,they only sell on Ebay.Radiators are american made fans are imported and can be purchased with or with out the fans.

I have poked around on the web and found no complaints about the Entrophy radiators.Its a little wider than the Afco unit and requires a little massaging to get it to fit properly.Probably a fair trade off to gain a little more cooling.
