    These are pictures of the Afco aluminum radiator, B&M Trans oil cooler with fan, and the Cal Tracs. I am still waiting for the Jaz fuel cell. I guess the hold up is the Ford fuel sender for the factory guage. Should be here by Thursday. The oil cooler is mounted in front of the fuel cell. The fan is a puller so it is underneath the cooler and it will blow out through the hole in the floor. I put a scoop underneath to help pull the air and to guard it from rocks or whatever. I will post pictures of the cell installed when I get it. If any one wants any info on these parts or more pictures, feel free to ask.

    The fan is a SPAL fan and the shroud is a piece I made.

    Gap around radiator

    I have .032 aluminum that I will use to fill in the space around the radiator. I will have it riveted to the cowl support and just laying against the radiator tanks with some good weatherstripping between them so they won't chafe. I mounted the radiator in 4 places using the holes already in the radiator at the top and bottom. I just drilled four holes in the core support and spaced the radiator out accordingly.
