ordered this radiator for my engine, fits perfectly, just that is quite thick and i still need to add the custom shroud and fans.
Iam not really sure what is the best option here, to shroud or not to shroud, pusher or puller fans....mandrel is real close but it can work with a not so tick shroud, in the other hand i can gain some space modifing the radiator frame support.
Need some ideas as to what I can do, ideas or thoughts?

I've been running that radiator on the street for many years. Of course a shroud would be best but not needed in all applications. Puller fans and shroud are not too hard unless you have some special situation? I can take some pics of my home fabbed setup if it might help?
