I am concerned about airflow behind the fans, I need to build those radiator mounts, I need to get the a/c core in there, and I need to make enclosures so the air doesn't escape over or around the radiator rather than through it. You might try a 15-16 inch radiator, but I'm convinced this can still cool somewhat better.

My original is the black one. Theirs seem to be exact replacements, except their quality control sucks. One of the new pair is shorter than the other. So I tossed the short one in my spare parts collection and installed the 2 that were the same length.

The new M12 x 1.5 x 30, grade 10.9 bolts arrived, so here's a better view:
that's 5/8-inch 6061-T6 aluminum, roughly 1.375-inch in this case, with an offset of 0.106-inch.
Knowing the brakes can never be insufficient is worth the couple hundred extra dollars. The tires may prove to lack grip, but that's a separate matter. Likewise boiling the brake fluid.
