408 Build Thread
I got a little bored after dinner tonight and it was still a little light out, so I went out into the garage to check the width of the Champion radiator and it's mounting holes and also the group of holes, factory and custom that are in my core support. To my surprise the Champion radiator lines up perfectly with the four factory mounting holes. All I'll need to do is go to the hardware store and buy four nice bolts and my radiator mock up will be done!!
I was afraid before mock up that the radiator might sit up too high, I was pleasantly surprised. The radiator actually sits lower than I probably would have mounted it, but I'm not going to argue with the factory. I think it looks pretty good sitting where it does?
I still need to mount the shroud/fans assembly to it so it'll be coming back out, but I'm glad I test fitted it and all went well. That's just one less thing I have to worry about!
