People with aftermarket radiator look within
I bought a Griffin radiator off of my engine builder and i got it in there, but I need to make some sort of brackets to hold the radiator in place. What did everyone use?
Also, I needed new hoses. I use the flexable hoses (my lower one still is a tad longer and has a kink in it) What did everyone else do?
What kind of fan and how did everyone fit one in? I want a dual electric fan for mine. Thanks

I believe I just cut the lower radiator hose some, so it wouldn't kink. Also, I used the stock support cover to hold it in place, it didn't fit exactly but enough so it could keep it in place. I'm using the same radiator by the way.

Yeah, my radiator cover doesnt fit mine. My radiator is from my engine builder who used it on his race car.

BTW Mark A Shields-My car is almost identical to yours. I am buying the same exhaust and grill, except I want foglights with it. How do you like that exhaust vs a Flowmaster?

I wouldn't go back to flowmaster over the Hooker. There is a sound clip of it in the signature, if you haven't heard it yet.
