Feroza Radiator install
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 10:43 am
Just picked up a 91 Feroza radiator up today from the wreckers to fit to my Sierra
The top hose is on the opposite side
Does anybody know of a thermostat housing that points right (looking from the front of the engine) as opposed to the standard one which point left
Plan is to junk the current chassis mounting brackets and mount the new radiator to the front apron.
Seems the easiest way to do it as the Feroza radiator has the mounts already for this
I know all the stuff about protection but I got a bull bar for that
It will bolt straight up on the passenegers side right beside the headlight
On the drivers side it will need a bracket from the horn mounting bolt down to the bottop of the apron
End result will be a radiator about 15-20% larger off set to the passengers side but all of the core is in the open
Bottom hose should connect straight up
Top hose will require some booty fab with a pipe running accross the top of the timing cover
Its going to be tight with height.
I am worried the drain plug will hang too low but we'll see
Hopefully it all works
Will post photos when done
Estimated total cost $150
