Default Aluminum radiator




I've got a friend with a 347 stroker who thinks he's top ****, and was sayin how the extra 60 pounds of my 357w isn't worth the 10 extra cubes. I've already moved my battery to the trunk, and was wondering how much weight I'd save by going to a double core 1.25 tubing aluminum radiator. Any ideas?

I don't really need it, theengine runs pretty cool with my h/c/i and new t-stat, but my five oh is a fatty compared to some of the foxes I see around here. I figured there'd be a big weight difference.Plus a nice aluminum radiator looks badass.

What else could I do to drop a few pounds. I think theres a page that has a pretty good break down on it somewhere around here, anyone got the link?
