Aluminum radiator & electric water pump
Does anyone have any experience replacing their radiator with an aluminum one, electric fans and an electric water pump. These are items that need attention on my 76 L82 anyway. Performance Cooling has an aluminum radiator with electric fans for $350.00. I can get a Moroso electric water pump for around $275.00. Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
Here are the radiator specs:
• Core Dimensions: 17" high x 27 1/2" wide (3 row core)
• Overall Dimensions: 19 1/4" high x 33 1/2" wide.
• Upper inlet: 1 1/2" located on drivers side.
• Lower outlet: 1 3/4" located on passengers side.
• Auto Trans cooler: Included
• OEM mount system
• OEM style brass petcock drain.
• Billet style fill neck construction NOT STAMPED
• Radiator cap included
• All Aluminum Fan Shroud Made in USA
• Dual 12 inch 1400cfm electric fans w/mounting kits = 2800cfm total

You might have a better response rate if you posted this on the C3 Tech forum. I'm sure many of their members have performed this type of swap. In particular, you may want to ask how the swap was done with respect to re-routing the belts since you're eliminating the water pump pulley. Good luck with the swap!
