Well the water pump died so I had it (want more room)...I placed the order for a Griffin 1-25241x with all the factory hose placements! I will cut the upper radiator support for the verticalness. My question, or why I need some pics is how strong does the upper support need to be? Would 1/8 steel do the job? Any pics would be great.. I found T/Akids pic but no much else..



Updated
Well I got it all done... Very happy... Things I would do different. 1.) No oil cooler on rad.. This would allow on to run the dual 220 Flex Fans saves more room.. 2.) Larger rad these ar 27 inches, I could have went with a 29inch in width.. Thats about it.. Thank for the help ta kid, Realquick, and others...

I have seen a few others on this board do it, so hopefully some of them will chime in. IF you want any more pics of my setup or need any help at all, let me know.

go with 1/8" thk square tubing, not 1/8" plate.

 

Any pics you have would be great.. Your pics are kind of all over the place on your site... Your setup is just what I'm looking for as far as room is concerned... Major props on your car, the work looks top notch..

Realquick 1/8th tube sounds like overkill but why not... Do do you have any pics of people using this setup? This rad is 15.5 inchs tall so 1/8th tube should work..

 

There are like 4 or 5 guys in the first 3 pages alone that used the square tubing I am talking about:

Ah perfect! Thanks for the help guys....

What fans would you guys suggest? No ac application... Puller or pusher? Mono or Duals? I have everything ready but the fans...

 

I moved my rad due to install of VAC pump mod on a 383ci FI application. Please see...

I used 2 fex-lite 12" low profile puller fans for more clearance (also a mod bracket to fit the rad). I'm running a blower, so, the added room is is a luxury. I did the mod with a stock size Be-Cool Rad from Summit for an M6. I believe the rad is larged than the Griffin normally used.
Reworked the hood latch support, and, the washer tank is gone. Re-worked the top and lower rad mount. I have gone to Evans waterless coolant for better cooling, and, it works very good.
Hope this helps. B.
