I wonder if it would be possible to remote mount those coolers elsewhere. Pretty crammed up at the grill as it is.

Day three with the S10 rad an it's doing just fine

Actually it's doing better than the last one and this one is used! Lol. Running a whole 8-10 degrees cooler. Towed my trailer with 2 of my Baggers on it in 91* heat wave and barely broke 180*. By no means was it baby footin it either. I love the sound of my LR V8 with no cats...

Long story short, I don't care for the $300 rads that'll just "drop in" when I could spend $50 total and a little work to make this one "drop in". The core support dimpling I did has no factor, I spaced this radiator up 1.5 inches with rubber isolators so you can imagine how low it would sit if I hadn't. I'm happy

Good luck on the write up.

It does, but if you've ever had a hole poked in your rad in the boonies, you quickly learn to appreciate a copper rad.
