I'll have to see how much room, width wise, I can go before I start running into my battery tray. I can mod the rad support if needed. Thanks! I think I will seriously look at the summit radiators or AFCO.

Would you have preferred both ports on the passenger side? How does the single fan cool? Looks like a 13 incher? No battery there either, a fitment issue? Nice.

That one looks pretty nice. Did you make the fan mounts or buy them? I like um.

Thanks...I wanted a crossflow due to its improved cooling capabilities when compared to a down flow radiator...The fan is a flexalite 16" and it works well, it looks kind of small due to the size of the radiator...Yes the battery was relocated to the trunk because the radiator is significantly larger than stock, I could have left the battery in the stock location by shaving the tray by an inch or so, but I opted to go the complete mile and relocate it...The electric fan mounts are from summit.

Very nice. When I bought my Mustang the radiator was attached using zip ties. [&:] Yours looks much better. Car is still in the shop getting all the little things fixed. The battery was mounted in the trunk, but I opted to have it moved back to the front. I also was thinking of changing to an electric fan. Your setup is very clean looking. I'll have to check out their fans and radiators. I have an al radiator now but I will eventually want to go with a crossflow for the same reasons...it gets hot here in AL like it does in FL. Since most of my driving is in the South from Texas to Florida I want to make sure it stays cool without any threat of overheating.
