This section will cover the radiator, AC Condensor and Fans.

The radiator shown here is the standard radiator as delivered by RCR. 

It's a very nice single-pass radiator with two rows (very wide) of tubes that is reported to have ample capacity to cool a 600 HP engine.


Rather than just hanging the fans behind the radiator - I wanted to create a shroud to increase the efficiency of the fans.


The only "complaint" I have for this radiator is one that I have for literally any specialty radiator manufacturer::

Why in the world don't you make a radiator with provisions for mounting fans / shrouds?


In this case, there is a very narrow 3/8" lip at the top and a 2" wide lip at the bottom.


The top lip has about 1/4" of air-space underneath until the fins are encountered.


The bottom lip is the same - but there is a LOT more usable space of 1-5/8" wide at the bottom for which there are no fins/tubes directly underneath.
