You have to pull the radiator out to put it in. Unless you want to drill a couple spot clamps/welds on the front bash bar. (IMO best way, but the poll i made for the installation video method nobody wanted to do that) The whole two piece system thing is a mega PITA because it wraps around the radiator and is wedged between the radiator and the ac condenser radiator.

Break the welds anyway, most of us are going too anyway.

That's what I have already done for my car at least. The poll that I posted was heavily in favor of the pull the radiator method like... 25-1 People are just not a fan of having to modify something on their car.

I get it. If is it easily able to be bolted back together...that is a no brainer.  I don't want to deal with coolant all over the floor and all that trash.  No bueno.  I have to do a coolant flush soon, and I will not be doing it.  I will make Ford do it....lol.

FB (SHO Owners Club) is currently the place to get the most uptodate info, other than directly from Gearhead.  You will have to register for the FB group as it is now a "closed" group.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'm unfortunately not optimistic as the New Year is fast approaching as this reminds me of the long anticipated reveal of the HPFP which was finally and readily available in the summer of 2017 IIRC! I hope I'm wrong on this.  Z

Hahaha.

But in all seriousness, thanks for posting! :thumb:

Haha it won't fit easily with it solid like that unfortunately. It becomes a huge pain in the butt. His V1 was like that.

It looks more like an upgraded radiator than an IC. LOL

Cool design.
