Yup, a very loud couple of pusher fans as I recall from a former
friend of mine who had one.
My relays and such shipped today. With any luck my new radiator will
get here before this weekend as well. I'll be able to take some pics
of how the fan fits on the radiator while it's out of the truck at
least.
I don't know what I'm doing yet for the lower rad hose for sure...
Napa's web site lists some coil-spring things for shaping hose that
isn't molded -- I bet I could use one of those for anti-collapse
protection.
