    Nice setup. I just put one in my Comet. What thermostat are u running? I am running a 180. The car will run abt 180 as long as it's moving. It will go to 195-200 idling. I have'nt driven it enough since install to tell what it will do in long idle periods and/or hot wx. Will post some pix tommorrow of the setup.

    The campions are awesome,95* waether car drives at 180 idles at about 190-195 fit's perfect and that fan is powerful,just a heads up mine killed a 30 amp relay so i put a 40amp light relay from o'reillys on it and it does great.And i think its more than 2500 it blows hard.

    Edit-also my motor runs really hot because its really worn out so you might get better results than i did.

    I know this is an old post , but I recently picked a engineered cooling products radiator , with the electric fans. It does not fit . The drain nut also touches the lower portion of the core support

    No mine came with electric fan to it was kind of tight water pump to fan. I eventually got countersink Allen head fine thread bolts to give more clearance. I tried to upload some pictures but it says something about low memory so I don't understand that.

    Hmm, mine is hitting the March serpentine pulley set I got, I’m gonna try to mount it lower . I’ll upload some pics once I get the engine back in .
