Well I'm sure somebody has done this multiple times, but I thought I would share mine.
My 90 W350's radiator always leaked a little bit until the other day, it decided it didn't like to hold coolant anymore. I looked a lot of places for radiators, the problem is they all wanted $275+ for a factory 91.5 up intercooled radiator.
I didn't want to go modifying the coolant/thermostat housing and have the hose running across, also being as I have plans to push my VE pump to its fullest potential I figured a better radiator was in line.
I picked this up at Lefthander Chassis 30 minutes from me, $200 later I got a 31x19x7 dual pass radiator.
Its a quality piece at a good price, the inlet and outlet are passenger side like my stock one.
I've got it marked and I am gonna tig mounting tabs on it to use factory mounts. You will notice the outlet is facing inward instead of out like factory, I'm going to cut it and rotate 180° reweld and it will line up perfectly. I will post pictures up of it when I get to it tomorrow, and post more of the install.
