Looks great! What is the radiator part# you used? I see you still have your A/C and a 90° intake on the procharger head unit and your washer tank! This is exactly the setup I want to run. Any overheating issues with the A/C on? Very well done! I too would like to see pics of the top with the shroud off. Thanks for sharing

+1, Nice effort! Want to see some better pics too.
Same thing I want to do this coming winter, except with my F1A. Street cars need A/C and blown cars like to runa little warm, especially as drivers in the 95% humidty and 95 degree temps. Run fast when its cool out and cruise when its hot. Summertime fun!
[I had to build a custon shroud to cover the radiator and to hold the top at the angle as seen in the pics.[/QUOTE]
I hope you did not make that ugly *** shroud yourself it looks like something a retarted red headed step child would do. LOL call me this weekend and we will throw some back.

Verdad Gallardo I'll get somepics this week with the shroud off. I actually cut out more than I needed since I was originally planning on standing the rad straight up. STALL UP made the shroud for me under the cover of darkness at an undisclosed Military location
I'll get back with everyone that had a question... any help I can give is free from me

Nice setup...but..
Having a 90deg right at the blower isnt going to do it any favours.
Would it be possible to build an enclosure at the mouth of the blower, full size, with perhaps a bellmouth.....and then take the 4" pipe off this plenum ?
There is still a turn, but it isnt as tight this way. Looks like there should be room for such a thing ?

The only way to come straight forward would be to rebuild the entire radiator/condensor. Or reverse the entire blower (in direction as well as belt drive direction)... alot of fab work... it can be done.. hell anything can be done. Key here is simplicity, daily driver, occassional track visit, everyday rice killer
