Message The radiator cost about $180 . Pay about $75 -100 to get both inlet and outlets reweld at the correct angle. After than it is simple drop in radiator. No mounting brackets are required. Mine is fits snug and only has plastic zip ties securing it. I am using the stock fan and stock fan shroud. You just have to trim the shroud to fit properly. Not that much of a pain. Big money saver over Nismo, SGP , or that other one.. Koyo. The Nismo one is a complete rip-off. The Howe was made universal fit for circle track domestic tube-frame cars.

You don't need an air bleed on the radiator. Just unscrew the temp sensor in the upper pipe to get the air out. Simple as that.

So it is not a direct bolt in. But what do you expect for the price. It doesn't reqire that much to make it work. I love mine.

Luckily I discovered it by accident when a friend at work with a summit catalog showing me how cheap they were. This after a local company quoted me $550 to make me one.
