ouch...... that hurts...

I did not get that amazon radiator on the cheap. I'm going to buy a 91-95 radiator with both oil coolers and buy all new lines and fittings to upgrade the transmission cooler to the larger lines.

If you are going to do that you may need the 31" Radiator Panel, the Plastic part with the Emissions info on it... You may have a 28 inch header panel...
