I don't have any pics of mine but I did mount it in my 1st gen you see in sig. Wasn't too tricky. Theres about an inch of space between radiator and under tray. What I did was put a wood block under the radiator, above tray. Lined up the mounting tabs to the stock radiator supports. Marked 4 holes with sharpie pen from front of car thru mounting holes in rad support. Drill and mount.

The upper hose is rather long. I can get u the part number of hose I got from Kragen if you want. I think the upper hose has different size outlet than the inlet on the water pump housing.

Lower hose was straightforward.

I uses hoses with coiled springs in them so they don't collapse under full load.

VERY effective radiator. It kept my 12a J-bridge at 140-160*F in 90 ambient. Then I put 4 rows of tape across top of radaitor and temps got up to 180*F where I want it.
