radiator

Ok guys,

I am looking for direct replacement radiator that will cool 600+HP. My biggest problem is Im very limited on depth because my blower pulley is VERY close to the upper radiator as it is. Any ideas??

BeCool makes a bolt-in replacement that should be adequate, although I'd call them to verify that it'll handle the heat before I ordered it. If it's not enough, you can yank the A/C condensor and gain an extra inch in the front for a thicker core.

Car currently has no ac so that should make it a little easier. Also, I have seen summit advertise a generic alum radiator. Has anyone tried one of these in our 3rd gens. Also, what about relocating the upper rad hose for more blower clearance. Thanks!

Do a search over on www.thirdgen.org Someone will a setup similar to yours (in power output) installed a much more cost friendly Griffin universal into his car. It required some fabrication, but he claimed the results were worth it.
