FD rad into Fc will it work? why not?
as title states will it work? I can get an aluminum Rad for an Fd at a much cheaper price than one for an Fc
And i could even use the stock Fd electric fans

I've seen one person do it, but they cut the frame and mounted it like it sits in a FD. if you look through some FD engine bay pics, a lot of guys running fmics have their radiator mounted vertically.

If you are going to do the fabrication to fit an FD radiator, you might as well just switch to a universal one like an AFCO, it will be better quality than the FD replacement and easier to fit. You can get the same AFCO double pass I use for ~$220, and it keeps a 600whp 20B cool, and was relatively easy to fit.

..oh..ask Flipstar about his setup.He has a 13bre in his FC and uses FD fans,so I am thinking it must be an FD Rad too.
