Ran into an issue with the 1936 Hudson 😝❌

We're getting closer and closer to having the 1936 Hudson running and driving so we're getting ready to reassemble the front end. When we put the radiator back in place, the bottom outlet no longer matches up to the water pump outlet. We're hoping that we can make it work by plumbing it up with whatever hoses and elbows we have lying around the shop.

Cut off the curved end brass coming out of radiator leave straight section then use a elbow shaped hose with one clamp on each end

[@stevemazz3121]

He said it was cast iron coming out of the radiator.

[@walterbooth534]

That would work.

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

Makes perfect sense to me

[@randymellquist2868]

💯

[@alanluckman7120]

Why make it so hard. Cut off the elbow on the radiator and put a hose on it done.

[@screamnmonkee]

If there a rad shop near by have them install a short straight outlet.? That radiator should be gone through anyway.

[@michaelwalsh98]

Having a Radiator Shop change the Elbow to a straight inlet, and go through the radiator so its clean and has no over heating issues would be the right way to fix it.

[@aaronbartlett3573]

Chad you make soldering so difficult. You used enough solder to do that project about 4 times. Heat each joint individually and heat at the end of the pipe that is inside elbow. It will then pull the solder into the elbow. As soon as your done keep heat on and wipe your joints and pipe with a wet rag. This will wipe all your excess solder off plus remove all the flux so it won't turn green.

[@jimderksen1653]

Its painful to watch.

[@manuelweber2127]

With that loop on the bottom hose there may be a flow/airlock problem...just have to see

[@Steven-pz3ck]

I hope Chad reads these comments. Seems like cutting the lower radiator fitting and using a shorter hose to the pump would be cleaner.

[@briandavis3907]

Need to put a bead roll on those copper 90 about an inch up so your hose clamp won’t slide off when under pressure.

[@JTTTTx]

One last plumbing comment- you may have to add a heating system vent to the top of your copper 90 arrangement . It may circulate, but it also may air lock when you fill it up against a closed thermostat.

[@oldrider1330]

I'm thinking some hockey tape and bad chad crome around that joint

[@brewstar58]

LMAO

[@roymilton426]

Ha ha ha😂

[@duconce]

Just when I thought Chad couldn't raise the dumb meter any higher he came through again. That radiator will most certainly need a core, plus those old radiators were not pressurized. He doesn't know how to solder, the hits keep on coming. Using a 36 rearend and brakes is looking for disaster.Better to just park it over in the big building next all rest of cars you can drive or aren't finnished

[@dannico58]

[@DavidSmith-zv7oq]

There's no room for a fan behind the radiator, even if there was it's to low to cool, he'll need to go with a electric fan in front of the radiator

[@howardmarshall5713]

Chad when you are soldering those joints together on the copper pipes. If you hold your torch at the point where the pipe starts to narrow then warm the pipe all the way around the solder will get drawn into the joint and flow all the way around leaving a clean joint no drips no leaks. copper is hot enough when the flame of the torch starts to turn green at the centre of the flame. 🙂 👍✌

[@joeblow5381]

[@mattjanzen86]

As you have stated many times... you learn through mistakes, as long as they don't damage something too "Bad Chad".

[@henryhoie2584]

You seem to be making a mountain out of a mole hill chad

[@grantscrimgeour1848]

I am sure Nathan could have come up with a better solution to solve the radiator hose problem - because it seems to me the fan blade(s) should have been installed on the front of the water pump first before sorting out the hoses. Others have commented there is the danger of an airlock being formed with the way the hoses are oriented.....time will tell.

[@norbertrausch9664]

Hi to you all !!! Looks like your fan is going to hit your hoses and the radiator. Probably because the radiator mounts r for the original engine and not the engine your putting in now. Going to have to make new mounting points for the radiator. Hopefully your modification works , double clamp your joints Chad. You all have a great day !!!

[@garyfoster4555]

That may create an air lock in the lower hose..

[@GeraldBoone-qy2yt]

That’s at least 50 times more solder than you need.

[@GeraldBoone-qy2yt]

That small block will overheat with that old radiator. I’m sure it’s partially blocked from many years of use.

[@JTTTTx]

Use radiator paint-- it does exist. It is specifically made for that application.

[@wmleuschen3586]

That would cost money.

[@garrykellogg3585]

Cut the curve off the radiator and attach it to the water pump small amount of hose for the final hookup

Chad, good job. When you have a will you can make a way to have things work. It may not be pretty but functional. You can buy flex braided stainless steel radiator hoses for cars. Very similar to flex exhaust pipe. Thanks for the video Jolene.

[@kajuncourier]

The paint that is on the radiator has to be the same type you would put on a BBQ pit or fire pit. Regular metal paint is not rated for extreme heat sources.

[@stephengorham2195]

Motor paint header paint marine heat paint exhaust paint..the list is long

[@amrelbadawi5677]

[@HermanCramer-bp4ls]

[@fonhollohan2908]

When your soldering, your suppose to heat up the flange area of the elbows and that draws the solder into the seams of the pipe.when you do it that way you able to solder things up very quickly. also you can tact a flat piece of metal to the end of those bolts so that it doesn't grind against the end of the bolts.

[@lumberdan4659]

[@DarrelAnderson-cv7wp]

Chad, You are going to have a cooling issue with that lower hose routing. I would have a radiator shop replace the elbow with a straight nipple. A hose with one elbow and 2 clamps would make it look nice and function like it should. It will be a nice build when done.

Chad and Jolene , In a previous video , I observed that there were 2 new radiators laying against the wall , One of them probably was used in the 1950 Ford is the other being utilized in the 1940 Hot Wheels Replica ? if You and Jolene and Nate have done a great job on the engine swap in the 1936 Hudson Terra Plane. Wouldn't it be practical to acquire another aftermarket radiator and an electric fan back up to complete the project. I wonder what Nate thinks on this issue ?

[@MarkJones-qn1eg]

You need to heat the elbow back in the bend. Therefore it will pull the solder back into the fitting. Equal amounts of solder. For instance a 1 inch fitting should take no more than 1 inch solder.

[@jesusdelgado3936]

[@lawrencerinaldo9635]

Ya know to make that copper thing you made look decent, plumbers when sweating pipes, get the joint hot then use a damp cloth used to wipe the area and it looks very professional.

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

When your want to have a proper rate of flow of coolant from the radiator to the automatic transmission . . You don't want create 2 many sharp angles for debris to collect in . When the coolant is under heated pressure. If your going to drive the car on short trips . There's less chance of it overheating. Also the degree level thermostat you use has a n impact on the potential of overheating and causing transmission problems . I would also install a heavy duty transmission cooler on the car as well. I'm sure Chad and Jolene will consult with Nate on the final analysis. on this issue

[@neilwalsh9637]

Even a flex rad hose would be better, at least for awhile. Those old hoses look like they’re going to need replaced in about a month…..

[@nevillemills9517]

Use a round loop hose put one end on the w/pump and loop it to go on the radiator. Like a big ring of hose O. May have trouble with an air lock. But you could place a valve or tap to disperse the air in it. Just a thought Chad.

[@beerstein7137]

You should heat the outer flange and let the heat draw the solder into the joint

[@johnprice58]

Mapp gas gets hotter than propane too.

[@robertrabhudsonhornet5869]

All i now is Chad is making it all more harder than it needs to be for one and with all them beens it's going to restrict the flow most likely run Hot or over heat and before doing all of that you should have had the fan on the water pump so you would know what your trying to do will fit an not hitting the fan and your favorite thing you like to say you don't like to waste time.

Take the front engine mounts off ,use the stock side mounts .

The water pump needs to be able to pump coolant without restriction. The angles of the hose may cause flow problems.
