my verticle radiator

just thought i would share what i did with everyone, maybe it will help someone else.

i used the same rad as everone else has, the griffin 25241

i used the summit brand stainless steel rad hoses, they came with all the adapters and everything needed

i havent figured anything out for the fan or fans yet, so if anyone has any input on that let me know

seems to cool just fine, but i havent been able to drive the car yet, but from what i have read it should cool just fine

here it is, any questions just ask

Looks nice and clean.

Besides making more room in the front; does it cool better verses stock?

Just reuse the stock fans, or are you looking for something thinner?
