[QUOTE="85toyo, post: 288874, member: 3017"] I'm getting ready to plumb my rear mounted radiator and trying to come up with some ideas for getting coolant to the back of the rig. The way the truck was originally built plus some things that I have done are going to make this difficult. There is no clear path front to rear for any kind of tubing. That got me thinking about using stainless braided hose with AN fittings. Using these two fittings for the water pump and welding 16 AN fittings on the radiator. [url=http://www.kryptonitekustoms.com/product_p/kk-10621cbm.htm]http://www.kryptonitekustoms.com/product_p/kk-10621cbm.htm[/url] [url=http://www.wideopendesign.com/Product/118/LS-Engine-16-AN-Thermostat-Housing.aspx]http://www.wideopendesign.com/Product/118/LS-Engine-16-AN-Thermostat-Housing.aspx[/url] Here are my concerns for this setup. 1) The inlet of the water pump is 1.5" and the outlet is 1.25". With 16 AN only measuring 1" will this be restricting flow to much if used for the whole cooling system. 2) I read that stainless hose holds heat and does not work well for a cooling system. 3) AN fittings are expensive :eek: :eek: Any advice would be great :dblthumb: [/QUOTE]
