I ordered it last night! The 31x19. I've been NEEDING an aluminum radiator for quite sometime now. Last summer it reached 120 for 2 weeks straight. We were the hottest place on earth for 2 straight days! Is there any tips or special tools that I will need? How did everyone mix their water and antifreeze? I know it's 70/30. But how did you know how much to put in?

I don't mean to be a jerk, but do a search for 'summit radiator' and you should get a lot of helpful info. I considered doing this mod, but decided to go the easy/expensive route and go with a Fluidyne.

That is what I am going to do. The less time I spend fabbing is more time I can spend driving.

I had a big old 3 core in my car that was made for a Fox 3 car. I had to make special brackets for it and stuff. I got sick of how rigged it looked, so I got a Steeda radiator last year.

Someone on here actually put the 31" one in. Considering how tight it is around my 27" one, I couldn't imagine trying to squeeze a bigger one in.
