    The fans coming on when AC is turned on is NOT for a "failsafe". It is to draw air through & cool down the condensor mounted on front of the radiator. The AC wont work if the condesor temps/pressures ate too high!

      Agreed. Poor choice of words on my part. Point being, I turned the A/C on to test the fans, then turned it off for the engine to heat up. Thanks.

    Mike fan blades also impact how good the cfm is. Straight blade has more cfm but has high noise level. So not all fans are the same just because blade design. Trap doors on the old set up has its advantages also be t your old set up really needed a fix

    Thanks for sharing more info does each radiator hold the same amount of coolent the B cool tank looks smaller

    • @FastMonty
      @FastMonty  Před rokem +1

      Great question Steven, I do some air volume comparisons in Part 2. (Where the Cold Case is much larger) But, the liquid volume between the two are really close, just comparing the side tanks, the Be Cool radiator has 12 more ounces. yeah, just 12. But, the tube volume is larger on the Cold Case, hence I think they're really close to the same. We'll see if I have any coolant left over, when I fill it back up. :) Both have much larger liquid volume than a stock radiator. Thanks for the awesome question!

    Hi mike
    Twin fan install coming up . Now can I put the fans in a diagonal?? Reason being I have Intercooler hoses / clearance issues . So I was thinking of putting the fan lower down on the right hand side .

    • @FastMonty
      @FastMonty  Před rokem

      Hey Craig... it all depends on the fan shroud. I don't know what the Firebird options are... but, if the fan shroud covers correctly, it doesn't matter where each fan mounts... if that makes sense? Just be sure to watch my CFM videos too. :)

    • @craigannettewallace4653
      @craigannettewallace4653 Před rokem +1

      Yes my GTO will be running twin 14spals pumps up my cfm by around 1000 . So cooling should be faster with better fans and a good shoud

      Get a shroud for diagonal mounting. That's all it takes. If you can't fab it up yourself, most radiator companies can do it for you, or just do a radiator that fits your need.

    What were you operating temperatures before you installed the cold case radiator?

    • @FastMonty
      @FastMonty  Před rokem +1

      Good question... it would hover around 195 200. That's with a 165 t stat. I'd love to see a 190 t Stat manage the temperature instead of the fans, if that makes sense.

    My 65 GTO has a cold case radiator with one fan and I added air to the car. Seems to cool it great so far. I have a 463 stroker. I don't understand why later model cars seem to require more cooling? My 76 TA 460 (455 .030 over) required a full 4 core and still didn't cool as well as the 65. Anyone have an explanation?

    • @FastMonty
      @FastMonty  Před rokem

      Great to hear your Cold Case 65 is doing great... I explain the 4 core issue in part 2. In summary. You need a cold case for that one too. :) Thanks for the comment!

    • @AB-80X
      @AB-80X Před rokem

      If you have a four core radiator and that struggles, something is off. Yes, our Trans Am's kinda suck when it comes to cooling airflow, but that's a big radiator.
      Let's just get the stupid question out of the way. Your cooling lines are installed correctly, right? Good.
      The other is the water pump. Big radiators hold a lot of water, and sometimes if the cooling pump is not big enough, it does not circulate water through the radiator properly. Don't ask me why that is, this is just something I was told by Griffin about a decade ago. I had an N/A 565 in my '73 and got a big radiator, after which it ran hotter. Got a nice Meziere water pump and all was fine.
      Now my engine in my '77 is a blown 582 which likes to run hot, and what fixed that was a Delta PAG radiator with a pair of their 14" brushless fans.
      Give them a call. Their fans and a brushless water pump might be what you need.
