350 Radiator mounting and pumps

[nuke em]

Jaguar73 has asked to see some 350 radiator mounting pictures and pump questions so I ask anyone that has some pictures to post do so, what they have used, and what did or didn't work well.

These first pictures I have archived for future use(ideas), most I do not know who installed them.

When considering your radiator just keep in mind a cross flow radiator will make you water pump dependent. A vertical flow radiator allows you to either run a pump or go without using thermosyphon.

I am a sweet talking son of a buck... I might end up with more details than I want!! LOL
I think I will do the thermosyphone rad from a goldwing cause they have fans... I fear the pump might go out and defeat the purpose!!!

I have a Digatron that monitors my exhaust temp, water temp, RPM and axle speed.  I have my warning presets pretty low so if my pump was to quit the red LED lights would alert me way before it could do any damage.  The pump is from a Mercedes Benz and is made by Bosch and I don't think I use it enough to wear it out or for it to go bad.  So far it has been a bullet proof set up.

I am betting it last long time... bosch is a good product!!!
