No front cooler, and no room for this one, and I'm not going to put more heat in front of the radiator. This is a large cooler, and fan, I'll see how it handles the temps and go from there for now.
I'm finally getting to my manual to auto tranny swap and have a question...
I purchased a large cooler and fan from Derale with the intent of mounting it under the body.

I've got 245/16 on mine with 2" spacers ....
If you plan to tow anything ya may want to stay with 245....
I'm also going to lower the rear 2" to level it out....
I'm going to pursue this, no I won't prove or disprove it's worth, I'm interested. My rendering will have the needed valve reliefs ( needed for long duration cam grinds ) and dimples.
My current design has not been proven or disproved either, but the theory is sound, so why not dimples...
FYI the blocks have been cast and machined in Germany for some time now, GEP has made production changes, seems it's faster and cheaper to have it done overseas...
My late dad used one of those hvlp sprayers from home depot and a gallon of regular enamel, other than the runs it looked good from a 1/4 mile away and it was cheap...🤣
I'm no expert but I don't run the compressor till I am almost done filling, then I run the compressor on and off several times to slowly get stuff circulating...
I suggest you document bearing size and location, ie, upper/lower main caps and the same with rods, these are select fit, meaning probably not the same size in every location... Very important when going back together.
