I told Fred I needed 1.5 hose ends by mistake after I got my radiator from him I noticed my mistake he fixed it with no extra charge and was going to pay shipping but I wouldn’t let him for my mistake.  :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

It fits great and looks good he used the factory mounting location also (all or most) you  will have to make new holes and or make your own brackets most are set up for chevy or fords. :eek4:

Email me if you want more pictures or have questions. :bigsmile:

I'll be running a aluminum Griffin radiator painted black, it's stock size for Hemis and I was told by Tim Banning it would cool my big donk comfortably, even after painting which brings the rad cooling temp down, albeit slightly. I think I'm going to be running some electrical fan as well, in front or behind the rad for extra cooling, not sure yet.
