Default Engine Compartment work photos

Spent some time over the holidays replacing radiator frame and installing new aluminum radiator from DeWitts and doing a little engine cleaning.

jims79- No that is not a fan clutch. My holiday project. The radiator frame was rusted out at the bottom and I replaced it and the radiator with a new aluminum radiator. Took the oportunity to clean up engine bay while I had the hood off and radiator out. Made it a lot easier.

Excellent looking engine compartment. If I may ask vette70, would you be willing to give me the details on the corvette Stainless or Chrome Plated strip along the front edge of the plastic fan cowl?


Thanks.

Very nice looking. I like the Cool Flex hoses. I have thought about that stuff quite a bit just never pulled the trigger on it. After seeing yours, that may be on my list of things to do next winter. Your engine compartment is awesome.
