Summit Direct Fit Aluminum Radiator

[sext7366]

Just ordered this from summit a few days ago and thought I'd just let everyone know that they carry it.  It was $253 for my car pass upper drivers lower hose inlets/outlets, and they also have the opposite inlets for an extra $30.  It seems to be really well made and definately beats going with a BECOOL radiator at least for the price. 

Just thought others might want to know about it, and I'll post pics in a day or two for those interested.

Do you know the Part number? so everyone has more info about it.

Tranny cooler  or not??

Does it actually fit like a stock radiator?  I've been thinking about doing a swap, now that there are so many companies out there.  I don't want to drill any extra holes, or have to pay extra for special brackets though.  Keep us informed please.

Part number is 380460 or for the other inlets it is 380459, and yes they do have provisions for the transmission cooler, except they are on the side instead of the bottom.  This requires just a little extra tubing, or modification but not big deal.

Cool...LOL

I've been eyeing one from an eBag seller for a while now.  We'll see how your's goes, maybe a better option.

Ok guys here are some pics...It does bolt up to the stock holes except for the lower drivers side bolt, because for some reason it is a couple inches lower on this side...don't know why but eh its just one bolt, and I already have a few extra wholes in my radiator mount because of my a/c condenser, and there are also a couple extra whole for some reason.  I think I could mount it lower by using the two lower radiator holes, one of the extra holes on each side but the radiator would seem lower. This is also because this radiator is just slightly shorter than the stock units.  Anyway if your a stickler for all these holes...but for me I'll probly play with it a touch and if I have to drill one hole so be it.  Otherwise its a great fit.  Oh the first pic sucks and the second one looks as if the radiator does not sit flush with the mount, but this is because the bolts are not fully tightened, and my drivers side mount was bent when I hit a deer thus the reason there is no engine valance, or drivers side fender. Hitting a big deer at 60 mph is not recommended.

I installed this bad boy last year. works great and keeps the engine nice and cool. for the price you can't beat it. However. My only issue is that my original rad was a 19 inch and now the 22 inch is off center. I started a thread about it

ohhh BTW< one problem I did have, See that gap on the top and a small one on the bottom. I was having a few issues with temp originally. What I did was go to home depot and get 2 sheets of aluminum. I bent then nice and made a "top shelf" and blocked the bottom so all my air went through the radiator. Trust me, take the time to make those, you'll thank me later.

I had noticed that today, and since I had a 26 inch radiator I think I can slide it through from the front to eliminate the hole at the top, but the bottom will still have one. Thanks for the advice Ive got some spare metal somewhere in my garage and I'll do that.

Where's this space exactly are you talking about? It's kind of hard to tell with the dark photos. I think I see a couple of areas but, want to make sure as I'm getting one for my car now.
