Default Bryan Wilkinson Pics of your radiator

I posted in the FI section because you had a custom radiator made to fit with the larger blower. Do you have any pics?

Or you can do this and use your stock or stock replacement radiator :

Interesting. Never thought of doing that. I was going to replace my upper core w/ some DOM tubing, but never did it. I may go back and change the mounting to something like that in the pic. It'd make removal a thousand times easier than the setup I have now.

I'm running an AFCO dual-pass radiator in my car. It's PN80133N and is 27.5"x16"x3". I think it cost $210. I cut out the bottom core support and fabbed a new one that is dropped about 3".

I used a Moroso remote filler neck and a Moroso overflow bottle mounted on the frame rail between the radiator and intercooler. The fans are a pair of 14" Flex-A-Lite Trimlines. I'm in the process of fabbing up a fan shroud out of aluminum.

Bottom shroud was fabricated and dropped a couple inches as well.

It rests in a newer lowered lower support, same fashion as the stocker. Up top there were blocks welded on with tapped holes and the upper shroud bolts to the new bar and the new screw holes on the top of the radiator. Mainly it changes the angle to straight vertical to get a lot of room back.

I can get a couple more detailed pics tomorrow since it's all apart right now.

The radiator is stock width, but it is 2 5/8" thick and 14 inches tall. It is raised 4 inches so that the blower inlet tube could come straight into it as opposed to that dinky think that procharger wants us to use. The key to power from the blower is air input, so I did not want any restrictions.

I used dual spal 11" fans, not the dual fan setup. and both run at the same time via a switch.
