Cooling System

 

The radiator I choose to use is a modified S-10 rad. It cost as much as a "generic" custom rad, but I can use the F-body upper & lower rad hoses. No scrounging up something that kinda' fits. Those universal flex hoses reduce the coolant flow.It also has OEM location for the heater hose and Mazda's coolant level sensor, and the option to use the OEM Mazda coolant fan switch if desired.

It is 27" wide, and 17" tall at the rad cap.

F-body OEM upper rad hose. I just need to shorten the one long section about 2"

I found that an A/C cooling fan from a Dodge Dakota V8 truck is less than 2" thick and has 3 simple mounting arms. It is about 16" in diameter.
