I patiently waited on my rad and related parts, but they weren’t actually shipped so I had to wait another 10 days. I was set back but it was ok. Parts have arrived, look great, and I began wrenching. Rad in. I have to notch the original hold down clamps as they are round, and the rad tops are square. Rad shroud mounted. Electric fans measured, drilled and mounted. And yes, they clear the intake as it sits! Power steering hoses built and installed.
I will have to get new hoses to mate up to the engine. I will also build a couple sections of piping,like the intake, as I like the look of it and don’t want a 3 ft long rubber hose snaking over to the inlet. It should clean it up a lot.
Hours are up to 374.
