[DeTomaso] Moving ac condenser to front of car.

[Boyd Casey]

Forest, Thanks for the advice. What did you do about the condenser fan? Did
you notice any restriction to the radiator air flow? Did the AC quality
improve?

Thanks,
Boyd

   Forest, Thanks for the advice. What did you do about the condenser fan?
   Did you notice any restriction to the radiator air flow? Did the AC
   quality improve?
   Thanks,

   A  A  A As some of you may recall I blew up my engine and was
   considering
   A  A  A installing a Coyote engine. As much as I think the Coyote is a
   great
   A  A  A engine I have decided to stick with a Cleveland. I have always
   wanted
   A  A  A 180 degree headers and having just installed a super deluxe new
   AC
   A  A stem
   A  A  A last year the prospect of moving the condenser and hoses to the
   front
   A  A  A of the car is the only thing that is standing in m way. When I
   A  A upgraded
   A  A  A I installed a very thin parallel flow condenser . I was
   wondering how
   A  A  A much air flow restriction mooing the condenser to behind the
   radiator
   A  A  A will cause. I have a "True" lay down radiator and sucker fans.
   Is
   A  A there
   A  A  A anything else I should worry about or take into consideration.
   I went
   A  A 5
   A  A  A years with out having working AC and the new set up was blowing
   cold
   A  A  A air at 42F so I don't want to go back to the "Sauna".
