Tom, Speed 220,
Very pretty compartment, however I noticed you have early-style ERA brass radiator.If you care, you can shave 15 lbs. off the nose and gain substantially better cooling by installing ERA's aluminum unit which is now standard. I swapped into my early chasis and have been very happy.You also won't believe how easy to do one-man rad. removals when necessary.Hardest part of the job is draining the system, and can be complete on a full Saturday.
Respectfully,

Hi Chas.
Thanks for the recommendation. I've been thinking about doing just what you suggest. I have a question, though: Is the same mounting hardware used so it's a direct R&R, or do I need to purchase any other items other than the radiator?

Tom 220,
Yes and no. Radiator comes with lower chassis attach pan, just like your present one only nice shiney [and LIGHT] aluminum.Also has needed cotters for upper[1]and lower[2] fastening.Whats needed is the upper rad. to body panel, which on your car is held to body by 5 sheetmetal screws directly into the fiberglass. Here,s what I did. When the main components arrived from ERA, I made a pattern of the upper attachment [which has slightly different angles than the present steel piece],and sent it to Teddy at ERA, who fabricated a perfect piece in alum. Or if you're more talented than me you could do this yourself. While awaiting the upper piece, I fabbed a "nut bar", a piece of 1/8 steel with 1/4-20 nuts welded to the back, the width of the body front hood line. I slightly opened the 5 holes in the body,siliconed the steel bar on the forward edge [under nose] and then through- bolted 1/4-20 button head allens into the piece Ted made. Easily removable for cleaning or polihing and the fasteners are always nice and tight. My fan mount frame fit with no trouble. Future rad. removals will be system drain, upper and lower hoses, and three cotters. A real timesaver. Hope you try it. The whole deal was something over $400, but I don't remember total. Good luck as it's worth doing.

Chas.
Thanks for your response. Sounds like the fabrication and installation are relatively simple compared to some other projects I've been involved in. But I'd better started now budgeting for the radiatior and related pieces.
Thanks again.

Brian,
Thanks. I was extremely happy with the way it turned out. The builder/installer was John Vermeersch of Total Peformance in suburban Detroit. Within Ford Motor Company, John and his team are regarded as the foremost FE engine experts in the USA. They made me a believer and are great guys to work with too. I highly reccomend them for anyone considering an FE.
