They really look good, Rusty. In fact, I'd say they are
PERFECT!
Good answer
:-) Seriously, thanks.
If find it interesting that your duct is asymmetrically upward to accommodate
the height of the radiator where as mine are just the opposite and I have my
cores mounted so high that a corner actually rubs against the cowling. So
I was wondering what the height of your cores were?
I think my cores are the same size as yours. They're
about 8.75" tall. I also mounted them as high as possible, to give me as
much room as I could get for the hoses below. I had somewhere between 1/8"
and 1/4" clearance between the cowl and the cores before installing the oil
cooler foam seals. Now, the compression of the seals wants to pull the
cowl downward, and make one of the corners rub on the right rad. I removed
some of the foam, and think I'll be OK again when I get all the screws in the
cowl. I'm even considering a couple mounting screws on the bottom of the
cowl, which would attach to brackets on the engine mount if I need to offset the
force of the oil cooler foam compression. The whole installation is
just that tight.
BTW, did I answer your
question?
Cheers,
Rusty (truck shopping
today)
