Default Burkhart Radiator setup for FI

We have been working on an AFCO radiator setup to work with our bumper support. We did the initial mockup this weekend and it seems to work out very well.

This is an AFCO radiator, Mezier pump, and our line kit. We can do these for a TA or Camaro setup.

Let me know what you think.

Damn. Looks REAL nice. I might be interested in a package that include the support, radiator, fans and lines. PM me a price if you have one. Kinda more curious for an off-season upgrade. How would that radiator work compared to the griffin most people (including myself) use....w/ dual flexalite pushers.

Is this the same setup you're sending to Jassim? Does it come with elec fan?

I guess line fittings will have to be welded to front engine cover.

Nice stuff!

What's the price?

Looking good. How big is that fan? Will it be enough for a car that is driven in summer heat?

This is Jassim's setup. The fan is included. It is a 15" puller fan. Not sure how it would do on the street. I would think OK but I am not sure.

The price on the setup is 1475.00. That includes the radiator, fan, pump, block fittings and bumper support.

We can add the lines and the factory steam tube needs an AN fitting welded on. You could do it with hose if wanted but the fittings are a lot nicer.

I se a GP with enough interest. Say 5, and I knock 100.00 off.

I like that setup, especially how it helps to clean up the engine bay.

I would think that radiator would boil on a street set-up rather quickly. Factory radiators have the entire surface with heat sinks and air can pass through the entire surface, with 2 fans and the ram air from the lower air dam. I don't see how that one would cool for a street car.

Can you post a picture of the front of that radiator??
