I'll throw mine out right now, late 80's Volkswagen radiator (the same as
the sirocco one available to drag racers), flexlite twin 10" fans and
shroud from summit racing mounted as pullers, coolant surge tank from 87
BMW 325is, runs at 180 deg forever, 190 at 70+ in traffic at 4k rpms.
The problem is that the radiator is exactly the width of the slam panel so
the frame rails had to be removed and rebraced, radiator is sealed to bottom
of the slam panel and lower radiator tray curved down 4" to seal to the
bottom of the radiator. Not the easiest route by any means but it
accomplished all of the goals that I set for it.
