i'm not so much looking for a direct replacement but i'm more curious what people have swapped in place of their stock shroud and radiator.

i swear i have seen guys ditch the shroud to give room for a turbo, but what did they put in place for a radiator, or did they just do make some brackets to move the with the stock radiator to a different location?

thanks

 

I see a lot of people running FC rads. They're taller, so they have to be mounted at an angle.

Personally, I'm keeping the stock rad supports where they are and putting an intercooler in front of the radiator where the AC condenser used to be. If I need more cooling than my 3-row copper rad can provide, I'll pick up one of CXRacing's 3" aluminum multipass rads that are designed to bolt to the stock supports.

 

I can't keep the stock rad and shroud because of the motor swap I'm doing so that's why I'm trying to figure out what others have done.

Any idea how much taller the FC rad is?

 

Been following your other thread...Why not just just put a "pusher" electric fan in instead? Looks like you got enough room without the fan in the way....just configure a Taurus fan (pretty sure there is a thread in the 1st gen archive), and be done with it.

 

I actually don't have enough room for hoses is the main problem.
