>> I hadn't looked deep enough into it to figure out where the radiator
would come from. I guess I'd look for an aftermarket off-the-shelf
radiator before I pay big $ for custom... since I'll have to do some
custom mounting anyway.<<

Radiator from a Gen II V8 will bolt right up. It's almost shocking =)

>>I believe Shelby Daks used pusher fans. My concern is that even if I
can get a pusher that does the job, it's still gonna be pancaked
between the condenser and the radiator to keep it as efficient as a
pusher possibly can be. That means to replace or service the fans, it
means yanking the condenser. That means testing different fans and
different orientations wouldn't be a simple procedure.<<

I used the flexalite 220 pushers (maybe it was the 230's.... um... been a
few years... it ws 200 series dual pushers with AC relay) . I had to shim
the condenser a little to get em' to slide in, but it was a perfect fit. The
combination of the 180 t-stat, V8 rad, and pushers made it run too cool...
had to go back to a 190 t-stat on the V6.
