No Prob, I'll get some pics loaded onto photobucket and pm you them. It was actually really easy. I couldn't be happier with it. I had the trans cooler in the front, but it was MASSIVE...to the point the car was overheating from the trans cooler covering too much of the radiator, haha. Little overkill, i know. So, I moved it to the rear.

i really dont want to stand the rad up and have to get an expensive griffen.
That griffen radioator that everyone uses to "stand the radiator up" is only $180, or something like that.

i think that will give me 2inches between my turbo and 2 12 inch fans as pullers.

what do u guys think.oh and thanks for all the replies
I know my setup is different but I have under $500 into this. notching the core makes ton of room the fans are slim, pullers so it will cool for sure

I'm a big fan of cutting out the bottom of the core support area on the car. It's simple enough run a new straight bar across there, weld it in, and mount your radiator to that. the stock bottom suport is angled and makes for a ackward mounting surface area.

You wouldn't happen to have a part number on those fans would you?

Tim, did you have to switch around the blades or anything to make them operate as pushers?

A smart *** comment wasn't needed, and you didn't tell me anything. Saying that alot of people use flex a lite is a broad statement. I asked the guy who posted a picture of his flex a lite fans. Flex a lite makes a few different fans in their ploy to make a profit

So i ran it with the fans as pushers and no trans coolers in the way. I let it idle with the a/c on max for one hour in my shop and it didnt over heat.

Not sure if this means anything because it was 65degrees in the building. Also i wasnt beating on the car.

You can feel alittle air flow through the radiator but not as much as id think would cool it properly in the summer. The a/c would probably work really well with the fans straped right to the condensor.

Spal fans work great for me! Swtich the blades on yours and they should be fine.

Maradyne are also good. Maradyne can also be used as a pusher or puller. Great high performance fan.
