Well, I actually dont have ANY money to spend right now on a radiator and fan, etc. I just got three tickets in the past week which really kicked my ***. I wanted to get gears next but I guess if I have to do an electric fan than I have to do what I have to do. Dirty, got any pics of your setup? Links? etc.

Thanks bro.

Three tickets in a week...OK, you're next mod needs to be a lighter right foot, or a radar detector.

I'm at work, and I don't think I have any pics of my new setup on this computer. I can probably find some general pics of the Afco radiator, but the shrouds are made to fit after the order is made. I was suggesting you pick up the upper radiator support in the pic. It's made by UPR Products.

7up...it's not my car in the animated gif, but I'm getting closer.

I ordered a stock replacement radiator (copper/brass) and the tanks are considerably larger that OE. I had to beat the metal holddowns so they were a little wider. Also, the radiator now sticks out to where the overflow tube is an inch past the battery on the fender side. Also when mounting the shroud, it is a very close fit to both the steering pump lines and the battery. Def put the rubber supports back in though! Beat the claws a little wider and it should work.

Ok, this isn't exact, but here's basically what the shroud/fan combo looks like on the back of my radiator.




Radiator looks alot like this, only my fill neck is straight up as opposed to angled...
