    Look what I got!!

    So I've been getting ready to finish my swap, and I had to solve the cooling issues (coolant, not oil) because of the lack of space, I would have to do like Wagon did and cut out part of the front end, or cut into the lower support to make a "U" shaped tray, or get a different radiator.

    This is a ron davis custom radiator that I ordered.

    Now I'm a hastey type of guy, but a radiator designed by me needs to fit. So I spent a long time measuring and figuring, plotting and schemeing.

    The I ordered and paid, they told me 6 weeks. It was here in 4.

    Yay!

    See whats wrong?

    I called, they looked at my diagram, realized their error and are making me a new one. I get to keep the other one because its useless to them. So all in all, kinda cool. Maybe I'll build a honda powered go-kart and use this extra.

    either way, It's a 2 & 1/2 inch core, 13 by 22 with 1 and 1/2 inch tanks and is cross flow. I'll still need to use push fans.

    Also: big thanks to nick for quoting me so low on a radiator, but buying a core without being a radiator shop turned out to be too much to make it worth it to keep it local.
