i need a new radiator. i was looking at the summit one
however the website clames that

"Notes Due to the additional thickness of this radiator modifications will be required. They include but are not limited to drilling a hole in the frame for clearance, altering the cooler lines, and modifying the upper radiator brackets. An additional bung and plug are also included on the bottom of the tank. Cooler bosses fitted with 1/2-20 inverted flare fittings. "

Has anyone put this in ther fox 5.0.?
How hard was the modifications to do?

if you don't like it do you have any other sugg. for a guy on a budget?

I just bought/installed this exact radiator. I still have the stock fan on. Went in without any drama and I'm not exactly a mechanical genius. I just followed the directions in one of the MMFF radiator install articles. Fit/finish look good. No leaks, cools great.
