SUMMIT Radiator Doesn't Fit

[Yobi1Kanobi]

I got the Summit 31in Rad and it seems to hit the ABS bracket...I read through all the post about Installs and nothing came up about that does any body have anything to add or suggestions...I dont want to force anything I want to be able to return it if this isnt easily solved....

I hope guess the 31 wont fit...I can either return it and get a 28 or get a direct fit... I m really pissed..

Some have moved the ABS pod rearward a little. Others have recessed the rad under the header.

I went with a less wide radiator for the same reason. I measured 20 times and didnt want to have to shoehorn the radiator in.

This is why I got the Mishimoto. I wanted a direct bolt in.

I cant stand that little MISHIMOTO plate on top of the rad....

Take it off.

All you have to do is drill two rivets.

Then maybe paint it and put a MUSTANG log on it.

Hey theres an idea.

Here is my summit rad. Modding was near Zero. Just got slightly creative. No problem fitting for my big engine. Maybe it was a 28?" I forget.

I have one and it fits fine its not a direct fit but In my opinion its better than the Mishimoto .I know of a couple people already complaining about it and the reason why is that its the same design as the fluidyne the main problem I discovered is the lower radiator support mounts and the ABS module. Our cars are known to flex in this area and that what causes the radiator to fail eventually since its in so tight in the mounts.
