    Thanks  :beer: Wasnt bad at all, real nice being able to use the stock hoses still. Radiator was like $160-170 (Summit/Northern), B&M cooler was $45, Pre-fabbed Be-Cool mounts $23, welding/reshaping edges and stuff ont the brackets, and making a bung and installing a petcock was $60. So about $300 got me a new cooling system w/ a aluminum radiator and no major modifications but four holes...not too shabby, did do my homework on it some..paid off.    :beer:

    See if i can write somethin up on it in the moparts tech archives...couldnt hurt  :wave:

     :wave: Im happy with it,  i see you found it. During the cam break in, it stayed right at 195°. There is a 192° T-Stat ( i belive) so maybe a 180° will help bring that down some  :beer: With a viscious fan w/o shroud
