I either need to recore a stock radiator (with a v-cell or tube and fin) or
purchase a new one from a vendor. A recore from a reputable shop (used many
times before) is $310 whereas a new one from a vendor is about $225. Any
comments on the quality of the new ones and their cooling capability verses the
stock 2"? I have some fair dollars in my in-line and don't want to skimp on
cooling capacity, yet want to use what dollars I have wisely.
Also, is anyone running dual Rochesters on their inline (Offy intake)? I'm
looking for a reasonable runner while I break in the cam when I fire it up for
the first time after a rebuild. Hence, I'm looking for a good starting point
on where to set the mixture screws (i.e. if anyone is running this set up, can
you please let me know how many turns out you have the screws set on each
carb?). I realize each application is different, just looking for a good
starting point.
Thanks.
