I have access to all the tools I would need( welding exc) I all ready had to make brackets to hold my stock radiator in the upright postion. With the SR radiator what temps you seeing? I know that it is a pretty big radiator, same as Chris has. Where can I get a good deal on a radiator from the states?

Thanks Guys
