You will have to drill about a 3/4" hole beside lower rest pad on the passenger side. This will be clearance for an alignment boss sticking out of the radiator. Other than that, it bolts right up like a stock fox radiator. I have no pics of the hole , but once you get a radiator you will know what I'm talking about.

It came with my motor and trans. The F-body fans mount directly to the radiator. Very nice set-up.

What years/cars are these in? I will need a setup in my F150 for the lq9. Are the electric fans stock too?

How are you all wiring in your fans? Through the pcm? Or a switch in the car?
