I ended up polishing it up and I think it looks pretty good

Did you finish installing it? How much $ did it set you back? I'm looking to replace mine, not to bad right now but it can run a little hot driving in traffic during summer in deep South Texas. Not ready dish-out the $510 for a Be Cool unit.

It was a bit of a tight fit and had to modify the upper rad cover and bent the hard power steering brake lines a bit to get it in.

Notice on my 88 when I come off the highway, it takes about a minute for the temp to go from 180 to 220, stock radiator has almost no reserve seems like. That radiator of yours should make a real difference I'd think, looks good too. Auto trans cooling?

What size was that puppy? I noticed they have several different sizes available. Part number would be helpful. They are priced very reasonable. $170 is a heck of a price for one of those.....

very nice!!! always wanted a polished radiator.
now how much horsepower will this thing support? i know the be cools are good to 450hp without a fan but i also dont want to shell out $500 for one if this will also cool a lot of horsepower too.
