Megan 3-row radiator

So I just received mine and of course it looks really good. But I got an issue now on how to install it.

I know how to install a radiator but this one is a doosie, it's a 3-row aluminum and doesn't have top mounting brackets and sitting at 2 3/4 inches thick I know for sure it's gonna have a fitment issue in the stock mounting location.


I've sent an email to the retailer pertaining to any installation information but nothing as of yet. I'm borrowing my friends stocker right now and I want to get it back to him asap, along with replacing the water pump and t-stat.

Any suggestions or anybody by chance have installed this please let me know what needs to be done to get this sucker in there.

Megans radiator does not come with upper mounting brackets or the nipple for the AST. If you are handy with fabrication then its a good radiator for the price as its easy to tap a hole for the AST and make a couple of brackets. If you want something that is direct drop in then this isnt the radiator for you. Koyo or Fluidyne are drop ins but cost a lot more.

I have the AST issue solved no problem for that. My only issue is what kind of fitment problems will there be?

So far I know it's gonna push the fans back further to where they will hit the IC ducting and probably the battery tray. I'm just trying to find out if possible where and what needs to be trimmed.

I bought one, it's a good radiator. If you have just a moderate amount of fabbing skills it is no problem dropping it in...and you don't need the AST.

That's my issue, I need to know what fabbing needs to be done so I can get the supplies. I'm not stateside like alot of you guys so my resources are limited yet alone sometimes having to wait for stuff in the mail.

Hit me up if you got pics and info to help me out here.
