I got the radiator off of ebay, Its just a direct replacment 34 inch radiator with the oil and tranny oil provisions. If im not mistaken both radiator hoses were from a dodge pickup early 80s for the lower and later 80s for the upper. A friend of mine for some reason was good at picking those out and we got lucky:ugh2:

Feel free, Ill help you with as much as I can, I can honestly say the only major obstacles were getting the new mounts made, the driveshaft shortened, and for me getting the factory gauges to work because i wanted the factory look. Luckily I have genious friend who made a lot of that happen. Just let me knw and ill take pics also

Motor mount setup is different. Used the V6 mounts on the motor and then made solid mounts to the crossmember?

Sure is, I had bought some setback plates and realized they were not gonna work. I had no idea the v6 mounts were gonna work, it was just luck that we decided to just try it. After a little torch work and welding it fit like a glove. Also used camaro poly bushings
