That looks good. Who's set up is that? Where did you get it?

Summit Racing BeCool 4 row with built in trans cooler & Be Cool dual electric fan.

They have a Griffin unit that's a bit lower in price and both are a direct fit.

Re: Do I need a bigger radiator for 450 HP Stroker with Vintage Air?

I will be replacing my radiators with one of these units when needed. This is USA made, has a true 3000cfm fan set-up and a nice shroud. I have seen these in person and the quality is awesome. I have seen them at work on the "48 hour Camaro project"-drag raced all day with the a/c on in the heat in Atlanta and in Nashville and never had a problem. Little pricey but add up all you need to build this set up and I think your money ahead. You pay for what you get.
