    they're all the same. for some reason companies just list the early cars differently than the later ones, but they all mount the same exact way :yup:

    I'd be leary of giving him my money. First off, his claim that it'll handle 600 hp is bull-****. His radiator is no bigger than the aluminum one I have and it damned sure won't cool 600 hp in summertime. (wintertime maybe) Second, his advertising about the countersunk filler trapping air and causing cooling problems is also Bull ****. And all this for $200 ?

    Looks impressive. The only part I see that has me thinking is the cooler.

    I like the way it looks. It seems it should cool better, but i'm no expert. It has fins and just seems better. I am not certain what mine looks like (the cooler) but i'm thinking that all the bashing being done by this guy could be on the one I bought, but again, not sure. My luck is that I have the inferrior one.
