Cool Mark ! You'll have to do a little fabbing probably to make it fit, but it'll be worth it

Yeah, it's basically the same outside dimensions as the LG. You need to mod the rubber mounts on top & the tray on the bottom. The cooling element is 2" thick vs. 1 3/8" for the SLP & about 1" for the stock radiator. And they only rate this at 400hp!!! That means the stock one is over-worked on a stock motor.....

It does have a tranny cooler, which LG does not offer. But it's also got all these stupid extra hole for some kind of sensors that I don't have. Time to go buy some brass plugs.

Anyway, here are some pics. It polished up pretty nice!

I think they must under rate the Be Cool then because the LG is rated at 700 hp running WFO 24/7. If your rad is a similiar size as the LG then it should cool about as well ?

Nope. I'm hoping to get at it the week after Christmas. I've been so busy working all this OT & getting the house ready for Xmas I haven't had time to work on the TA.

I did spend 3 hrs trying to get my sons Mitsu running right. I think his O2 sensor is fouled. It idles rough & surges running down the road. And the dang thing is welded into the exh manifold, so I'm probably going to have to pull HIS radiator out to get the right angle on it to break it loose. Plugs, wires & cap had no affect.

No. I thought about it. Should just for gen purposes. But when I pulled the plugs out they were all BLACK. So I'm thinking a sensor is fragged making it run too rich.
