Thanks for taking a look and following the progress!
And YES it is my B-DAY today...........ripe old age of 33
The half size rad is mainly due to the fact that my oem rad has a few slightly bent fins and i do plan on having a new exh mani fab'd later this year or over winter or when we have a few other projects completed and out of the shop.....
The slight bit of weight loss and a bit more space never hurts though

More updates!
Got the D/S bolted up with the new Torque Solutions solid alum. bushings:




The angle of the rear section places it close to a bolt that comes through the floor but has about a inch of room:


Also got the -12 AN fittings in and will mock up the rad to see what fitting are needed and then i'll order up some hose..........hope to get the head back on this weekend!

Have you drove with those aluminum driveshaft bushings yet? You will hate them and replace them with the stock rubber ones right away, I almost guarantee. I had them in Lana for like a week, and my car sounded so loud, it was like having a rear end full of sand or something. The gear whine was unbearable. I put the stock bushings back in there, and it was silent again.
Let me know if you experience the same thing, I had the aluminum rear end mounts and all of that jazz as well.
