has anyone used a bbc tru trac from billet specialties or a front runner from vinatge air on a 1966 or 67 chevelle? if so, what type of radiator setup did you use?

We did a 502 in our 67 chevelle and it had the true trac on it with a be cool radiator .... Are you running into some issues or just wandering

did you have any trouble cooling it? the guy from be cool said that some had experienced trouble cooling with the serprntine. that and it's gonna be a tight fit no matter which set up. trying to figure out which one to order.

We do a lot fo front drives and radiators. Problem with the Be Cool set up is the Hi Performance 11" fans are VERY thick, 3.7" and will interfere with the Front drive.

We have a pair of low profile 12s that we do that will clear the front drive.

When I get to the shop in the morning I will put up some pics to show clearance but we had no interference but it was a little close .... And yes it has air and p/s .... And oh yeah ROLL TIDE

Here is what I have on my computer sorry there isnt any better of the actual clearance but the customer has the car now and this is what I have... if you zoom in on a couple of them you can see its close but we have never had them touch and this car has been flogged on hard... as far as cooling it stays at 200 and never moves... we long hauled this car on the power tour ( and even won the Sema Power Tour Challenge .. sorry shameless plug) and never had a heat problem ... I know everyone says it but its true 100 degrees with the air on and in dead stop traffic !!!!! ha ha

Oh and by the way where in bama are you... we are in Bessemer

Fairly certain that motor is moved back.
