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?

That will be nice... Is for dragrace only, i like the idea of using one 14 in. Fan and a smaller one, like a 12 in or less.

although i know for sure i can use a couple of13 inch fans.
I dont really like to use just one, please post the picx...

Thanks: gilbert

Here's how i did mine. a-body. 4-8" 8amp 2200cfm pullers. permacool said, sitting still will have the equivalent of 55mph blowing thru the rad. I used a aluminum plate, used rubber strips where the plate touches the tank & made extra holes to get more air flow for street driving.
