I have a question, which we should have probably resolved much sooner than this but here goes anyways.
We have a SCJ 429 engine installed, so not a lot a room between motor and radiator maybe only 4-5" at best - at present the car has no internal radiator fan installed.
I suspect that was due to lack of space when the 429 engine was installed and they installed two external elec fans - which were really inadequately undersized and it was suffering a bit with overheating by not getting enough flow through air.
So when we were over there in April, I purchased and installed a much bigger external fan, which gave us much better results, but still did not solve it completely.....there maybe some other issues there to sort out with either timing /tuning or radiator blockages ??
Anyways,
now that we are trying to fit up the air con unit, the realization has hit that the condenser unit will need to be installed in front of the radiator as well and we are wondering what to do about getting sufficient air flow throw to cool this beast.
Has anyone fitted up a big block in a 69 with air conditioning and figured this shit out ...if so would be so kind and pass on either pics of what has been done or a good description of how you overcame this hiccup please.
Me is starting to think fitting up this OEM Air con unit in a big block 69 may not be possible?????
But I would have thought ..this Might have been a factory option with the 69 428 SCJ ??
