Tom's rad.
Fellas, open your wallets. I put one of Tom's radiators in two years back and it's one of the finest products I ever bought. Perfect fit and flawless cooling. I have an absolutely stock install, no extra fans and run a zz430 at 190 degrees on the hottest days at any speed.
Thanks, Tom.

First to answer this one. Other radiator companies develop a "package" and make everyone use this one package. I don't think that's they right way to do it. Just because you want dual fans doesn't mean you give up your right to have a true direct fit radiator. So the way we handle it, you simply order two items. First, pick the correct radiator from the list of "Direct Fit" rads, then add the fan kit (SP460) from the "Fans & Combo" group. We will take the two numbers and mount them together. All the wiring, relays, switch, etc are included in the package.
So for a 76 manual trans, I'd use the A73M radiator ($495) and the SP460 fan kit ($395) and that totals $890, done.
Now onto another item, "pay attention" because everyone seems to miss this. I CANNOT CHANGE THE WEBSITE ADDING THE FREIGHT. After you place an order the website automatically acknowledges the order back to your email address. It will show freight charges. YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED THIS. That is where I come in. I will process the orders and any order with CFGP in the name will be exempt from paying freight. This is typically $42 off.
The free freight is available on fans, rads and combo's.

I know that's not a real big deal but I think most of you acknowledge our "Direct Fit" line to be the best out there and at $495 they are probably cheaper already, so the free shipping should help get you off the fence. Keep in mind, this offer is only for our "Direct Fit" line and not the "Restoration" radiators. It is only for CF members and it would be helpful if you ordered from the website. Just use CFGP as a middle name and I will override the shipping changes on my end. Offer good thru March 2005. td
believe it or not it gets scary hot in my part of Canada (not Ontario) in the summer...100+ for easily 2 months or more.

Tom:
A friend of mine and I installed the radiator and a new fan clutch this weekend and my cooling problems are solved. The radiator fit perfectly. My car is an auto with AC.
For the guys that have never done this before, the only problems you're going to have is getting the fan shroud installed properly without damaging the radiator, and resisting the tempataion to cut the shroud in half. There is a way to do it - but I don't want to ever have to do it again.
In the near future, I want to go ahead and install a Spal electric fan. Can I install a fan kit without pulling the radiator? I like the idea of having more room up front to work with, and not having the fan draw power from the engine (there IS a difference in the car's performance with the new fan clutch).

Q2 I don't think there is a big HP saving. You going to transfer the load to the alterator.
