funnny you should ask. finally got it installed yesterday and ran the car for the first time. Could not get it on the road though... No front beumpers yet.
Rad fit right into the original mounting holes perfectly. Although, the actual core of the rad is about 1.5 inches smaller than the 4 core I replaced. The Shroud fit the core, but because the tanks are closer on the EP rad, the shroud needed some minimal dremeling to fit. I took off about 1/4 to 1/2 inch fron the upper radiator hose area, and the same by the upper tranny cooler lines, and petcock area. There is no where to secure the shroud on the lower part of the radiator, but mine fits tight there anyway.
Let it run for 40 mins. No problems. Coolant flow seems adequate. Idled b/w 170 and 185 all day (190 deg stat), but it was cold here yesterday (55 deg).
( I also performed the fan clutch adjustment described in another post here. What a difference. When the air crossing the fan was cool, there was minimal fan noise. As the temps climbed a bit, you could here the fan clutch engage the fan. Really worked.)
So, yes. The EP radiator seems to be a good buy. Ill keep you posted on how it is when temps climb.
