[DeTomaso] Fluidyne Radiator

[JJD1010 at aol.com]

Rather than a full laydown radiator application, you can move the top  of the 
radiator forward about 2 inches and then the Flexalite fans and shroud  will 
attach and fit just fine to the back of the radiator. To lay the radiator  
forward, use two 1 x 2+ inch strips of aluminum that attach to  the top radiator 
mounting points on the car and the radiator. There are  three benefits to 
this: you can do it yourself, shrouded sucker fans are more  effective, and it 
keeps the radiator angle more perpendicular to the  incoming air for better flow. 
Don't forget to install the stock side baffles on  each side of the radiator 
and the stock top cover to direct the air through  the radiator. Lastly, make 
sure the water hoses and pipes do not lay against the  fan shrouds. Too much 
heat can cause the fan motor to overheat and shut  down.
 
There are ways to attach the Flexalite fan shroud to the radiator  without 
zip ties but they are a little more involved. One approach involves  making 
brackets that slips under the lip of the radiator housing. The  second is to drill 
holes in the lip and use those to attach the  shroud.
