Howdy Ford Guy! 347 Stroker / From Blue Print Engines. Serpentine Setup. Water Pump Outlet on Drivers side. Total opposite of stock setup. Champion Radiator. Any input would be great.

I think you need a radiator with reversed inlet/outlets. Most radiator makers (incl. Champion) offer these.

Snipped from Tom's site:

TOMS OFFROAD's 3-Core Aluminum Radiator with Reverse Outlets for the 66-77 Classic Ford Bronco uses a Water Pump with a Driver Side Outlet. Outlets are backward compared to the original Bronco to work with newer style engines. These radiator hose ports are also sized to match the later style hoses.

Which serpentine set up do you have sharpe? Got pics you can share? Or a link to it on Blueprint’s website?
