My Sunday Project - Afco radiator & Steeda tubular radiator support
I finished the install of an Afco radiator and Steeda tubular radiator support today. The hardest part was getting the old radiator out. When I installed the new radiator, I ran into an issue with the fan shroud mounting tab on the passenger side not lining up with the mounting hole on the Afco unit. I thought maybe I got the wrong radiator. It's Afco model 802841FNU and it says 05-06 Mustang on the box but I have an '07. I searched the web and the model should work for 05-10 Mustangs so I'm not sure what's going on. Basically, the shroud on the passenger side needs to go lower and to the driver's side for it to line up but it won't go lower due to the hook at the bottom that the shroud rests on. I decided to zip tie the passenger side of the shroud to the Afco unit for now. I might have to do some modifications to the shroud later on.

Afco makes some quality items, I just installed their dual fan dual pass HE. Love it. Should have done it years ago, car was 2-3 tenths faster at the track. Your car looks great, well modded. New radiator and support looks stout.

Thanks! I should've done mine 3 1/2 yrs ago since that's how long the Afco unit has been sitting in my garage. lol
