Default Why I hate mods...

Because they cut into my engagement ring savings fund. :lol: :lol:

I just spent a months allowence on an upgraded cooling system, again.
Be Cool Big Block aluminum radiator
Big block radiator support
Dual fans
Brackets and hoses.

This is the second system in 6 months. Anyone want small block aluminum radiator with radiator support for early C-3?

I've been trying to get this cooling thing under control since I changed motors.
Hopefully this will be enough. :banghead: :banghead:

That cooling combo keeps my 454 at 180F in a 110F Dallas summer with the AC cranked, so yes it should do the trick! :yesnod:

I feel your pain, bro. :yesnod:

The mods used to be no big deal for me before....
.....but now with a new addition to our family (5-month old girl) the mods come slower & need to be budgeted. :rolleyes:

It's worth all the pain though and never give up......after all you're a Corvette C3 owner ! :cheers:
