Making Of The Willy Mammoth

[red]

i see 2 differant style tanks. 1 if your making a 1 pass radiator setup or 2 if your making a 2 pass radiator setup. nice work

[Willy Mammoth]

Are you doing this one as a 2-pass also? I think we talked about it but I don't remember.

No, I think it will be easier and more effective to just make it as a single pass. The larger the core is the longer the water will stay in the radiator so I am sure it will be fine.

If not I will charge the system with liquid notrogen.

If you have sawsall, you have room.

I see um! I see um!

I would think that single pass would be the best. It would slow the flow of water thru the core down to get better cooling.



edit: guess it took me too long to type that.

time to start thinking on the oil cooler Mark 
I bought a 1987 Wrangler YJ and the rad in that is 4 rows of pipe which I intend using with new tanks. Although I have a 3 row Japanese one at the moment in my CJ I have never seen it crossing the "normal" range even during height of summer 48 - 50 Deg Celcius outside temp.
yes I live in a furnace.......

[Colt]

... height of summer 48 - 50 Deg Celcius outside temp.

hot... You haven`t any probs if your gas for cooking runs out... Just put the food outside and wait five minutes 

[unclejpl4x4]

I went out in the garage to see what was going on. Holy canolli that's a fat radiator! LOL
Fongs, did you see he is having to extend the front end a few more inches to get that to fit?

[Willy Mammoth]

Here is a test fit.

[Bazzi]

I loooove it

[red]

do you like welding with the radiator sitting in a garbage can or something mark? haha its lookin great

  that's a custom radiator stand

[Colt]

sweeeeeet!!!! 

[Willy Mammoth]

I still need to make the inlet and outlets fittings before welding the tanks on.

I am also going to build an expansion tank to help keep the pressure in check.

The front end is going to be 5" longer to accomidate the new radiator.

[topar]

This truck and those skills of yours never stop amazing me. 

[Cheesemaker]

X's 2!!

I wish I had 1/20th the ability Mark has!

[Lady Di]

  I just hope the dang thing helps after all this work!

[CTENG in KS]

What's it take, bout 50 gallons to fill that thing up?

[Cheesemaker]

That there is alot of radiator!  If it doesn't, sell it to a moonshiner! 

[Fongs]

WOW that looks awesome
Than you get freeze

[93tonkatoy]

 

That's not a radiator, THAT'S ART!

Well done.

[Duffil]

Very nice work on the upper inlet, and the radiator in general.  Top notch, as usual.

[red]

if that doesnt fix the problem then i wonder if your turbo wastegate isnt opening properly.

dang, people say i can fabricate stuff but your skills blow me away!!

[skipnrocks]

this thing just keeps growing and growing... LOL  Hey how are you going to stretch the hood since it tapers as it goes front to back.  I have the same problem with my hood, I think i need to have a new one rolled to acomodate taper and length, but mabe you have a better idea?  Anyways man looking forward to seeing how this continues to develope.

It is such a sloppy fit to start with it will be a better fit 5" longer. You could allways just tweak the curve a little and it shouldn't show.

I could just start over and make a new one, you remmember I made this one right?

I am just going to cut off the front and make an extension with a new bead.
