Cooling system upgrades

i just dont understand what the hose is doing in the one filler opening.

The factory spot for the heater hose goes just a little under the rad cap. With the new rad that stop for the heater hose was removed.I just placed the hose there untill I figure out where to move the heater hose. I also I had to move my truck to

Mind me asking exacly, where is that rad from? and what about the fans?

Thats a very nice setup, but then again... what are you going to do with the hose? i wouldnt want to have it in the filler spout lol

no matter what you do make sure the radiator support is cutout all the way, the 454 and 6.5 have the whole area cutout, the small block and v6 support have about 4" total covering the radiator flow on the sides

your talking about the rad support right?

I moved the heater hose to the top of the water pump

Not all of the sb ones have the "block off" plates.

the 454 has a 34" core ...most 305's and 350's have a 27" core ...they are interchangable...i have the modine core that has the oil and trans coolers...but not using them yet...you will have to upgrade the hoses...and a good high flow water pump from edelbrock would be a good addition...
