Ed, I think the radiator will fix the problem. If it's getting that hot then I doubt the head gaskets are causing the overflow. The new radiator setup from CR eliminates the bottom half of the radiator hoop. You can cut it off just below the mounting point. On the 2 forward facing frame members you will need to make 2 "U" shaped brackets out of aluminum to hold the bottom of the radiator. On the top you can run a flat bar across the current upper bracket mounting points. This will allow you to reposition the upper brackets inward. Use the old brackets as a design to make the new ones out of flat aluminum. The old brackets are not wide enough for the new radiator, and the old location does not work. I would also change the fan to a 16" Spal unit. It will work to keep the engine cool with the new radiator. Purchase a relay kit also from Spal. The fan draws too much power for the stock wiring. Give me a call with any questions. 1-888-722-6272
