Question Lindsey Racing Aluminum Radiator: Who has one?

Does anyone have one in their car? Just wondering about the overall fit and impressions about it. I'm sure it's probably an awesome piece but its always nice to hear some first hand thoughts before shelling out that kind of cash.

Just looked at them on the LR site, and they look very VERY similar to the Wizard radiators Chris White sells (for less money than LR).

Chris White said he would match the Ebay price, and include new rubber "mounts".... I would buy from Chris to support a good RL vendor (Not talking against LR. My comment is referring to the ebay link vs Chris White ).

If you have a dry sump setup, the additional thickness will mess things up a bit, meaning you will have to find thinner fans as the pump pulley on the crank will add an inch or two. Also, you may have to cut and adapt the big rubber hose on the passenger side regardless of dry sump or not.

The radiator is a very nice piece though.

My radiator from Chris just arrived. Top notch for sure. I will install it this week, hopefully it all goes smoothly!

If you get the unit with integral oil cooler, the stock fans won't work. If the stock fans are what you like, Chris has a version for such applications.
