Yea so anyway, got a nice new flexalite black magic fan for the yellow car...tad too thick tho, otherwise fits perfect.



any idea if i can cut the pipes off and just weld it like regular aluminum? or should i save myself the hassle and bring it to a radiator shop? do they still do pressure testing?



meh just rambling on. BTW the fan is hawt.

meh, im gonna give it to the local muscle shop guys, let them do it, so if they **** it up i get a new one.



think the stock fan does over 3,300cfm? thats what my new fan is rated at, shroud covers the entire fluidyne core except maybe .25" on each side.

thats what i figure, its the strongest pulling single fan they have on the market so i figure it should be fine. the thing is rugged compared to my old fiero e-fan lol.

other thing is to duct seal up the radiator to the body, so the air only goes thru that
