    Hey, awesome work.
    I had a question about the radiator and the fan set up did you go with. And did you move it forward for clearance..?
    Thank you.

      I went with a radiator from wizard cooling, and I had to move it forward, build a bracket and trim the inside of the hood

    I doing the exact same build right now. I have some questions on the radiator. What hoses did you use?
    Did you have to cut your hood support?
    Is your intake 4 inch? I don't have much room so im hoping the intake i ordered fits.

      I did have to cut the hood, don’t remember what hoses and I believe a 4” intake

    I need help
    Did you have to cut the tunnel or firewall
    Which headers did you use
    Thanks

    • @gentrysgarage7956

      I had to cut this supports that stick forward off the firewall, but not the firewall and did not have to cut the tunnel. The headers are just cheap stainless steel. LS swap headers off of Amazon. They are the ones with the van clamps, and the extensions for the O2 sensor.

      It’s a radiator from Wizard cooling but I did have to notch and move the radiator. I also trimmed the hood.
