I finally put some time into my teener this weekend, and built the mount and shroud for new griffin radiator. I still need to cut a hole for the latch, but other than that it is complete.

Did I miss the thread on your build that tells about the power plant?
Hoping you'll point me to it or spill the beans. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Nice metalwork. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Nice metalwork. You didn't miss anything recently, but there might be an old thread somewhere. It is a 2.5l SOHC Subaru engine, naturally aspirated. I am also doing all the body work and paint, adding a set of 916 bumpers, sway bars, and a fresh interior. Should be a sweet ride when it is all said and done. |

Looks great!
I am in the final stages of my Suby build too. I will watch yours for the body and paint part. Good luck! Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Nate |

Nice sheet metal work. I'm assuming the radiator mounts are just as nice. Do you have pics of the complete installation? What radiator did you use as I need to start sourcing cooling items for my V8 installation.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It is a closed radiator, with no pressure valve up front. That is in the back, and as stated bleeders on each end are recommended. And it came that way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE(pete @ Mar 13 2012, 12:19 PM) Nice sheet metal work. I'm assuming the radiator mounts are just as nice. Do you have pics of the complete installation? What radiator did you use as I need to start sourcing cooling items for my V8 installation. The mount and shroud is actually one in the same. there are 4 bolts that go through behind the front bumper, and if I feel it is necessary, i can run a couple through the trunk floor as well. The radiator is from Griffin Radiators, found here. I used the 13x22" with the inlet and outlet positioned for my system. It was a little pricy, but very nice, well built, and couldn't fit better. |

The highest point is engine bay. Your fill and overflow should be in the engine bay..
