How to build a Griffen radiator mount and what size?
I need to install my new Griffen radiator. I got a "chevy" version as the water outlet to the pump is on the lower passenger side to match up with my passenger side pump. My OEM radiator had the lower hose below the subframe crossmemeber and seems a bit low. The hose had to be run under the frame. The Griffen mounts their outlet about 4" up but now that's right in line with my rack and pinion and I can't hook a hose to it? My OEM was a 24"x 19" with tabs to mount to the car frame. The Griffen is 22" x 19" and I need to build a mount. My mount is on a slant. I can't get this 19" radiator to stand straight up and down as it will either hang lower than the frame to clear the hood hinges or if placed inside the engine compartment, would have to sit on top of the rack and pinion?
In a nutshell:
1. What size radiator (dimensions) are you using? Have a P/N?
2. Does anyone have pic's of how there radiator is mounted and hoses run?
I'm "racking my Pinion" over what should be something simple to build?
Help....
