Question about running half-sized eg radiator.

So obviously it doesn't fit, but i noticed that it only sits about 3/4 of an inch higher than the stock radiator, when comparing the hight to the radiator t-bar. I was wondering if anyone kept the stock crossmember and used a eg radiator without the "gangster lean" by just cutting the webbing off the hood from that section? It looks like it would work.

Any input would be great.

 

Without the lean, more clearance is needed than what you can get from removing the webbing from the hood.

Alright. I think i'll do some mods to the stock crossmember to better fit the half-sized.

I'm 99% sure i can get this to work haha.

Yeah, I hacked up my xmember and from part. (cut the part where it held the supporters for the original rad.) But hey it works!

That is true. I won't be removing much though, and i will re-enforce it.


Thanks for all the input
