[QUOTE="the_white_shadow, post: 629612, member: 10112"] Mas work done over the holiday week. Mounted the radiator up front by moving the crossbar i had up some on the shock hoops. Went with a Griffin LS swap radiator. 26x5x3 w/ 1.25" tubes. Going to seee if i can fit a Volvo fan on it. Best part is that it should all fit under the hood.
