Title: radiator flow
Post by: Bryank on March 22, 2012, 01:17:05 AM
can the fluid run in the other direction threw the radiator when the radiators in the box of truck? here's a pic of radiator just sitting in back, i wanna run the water pump hose down passenger side and thermostat hose down drivers side, and keep radiator facing the front. will it work or does the waterp pump hose have to go to the bottom of radiator?

it'll flow both ways..... however you might just suck air if the water pump inlet is up top..

find a ford radiator... they backwards.. work perfect for ya


or cross your lines over in the bed...

turn your radiator around and just run your lines down under or up over the rad. Or turn it sideways.
