Re:small radiator for CRX?
here's a good pic of John Ward's setup... I believe that's a 5g civic radiator.

dam its to bad john's manifold is rubing on his hood. that rad he has is a 5th gen civic he said it sits very low to the ground
And yea, it does suck *** that the manifold is hitting that POS VIS hood... it's only going to get worse before it gets better. There is a taller deck height engine going in, which means the manifold is "movin' on up"... maybe time to cut the bottom of the hood completely out 
Is John useing a custom crossmember? I'm wondering why the rad sits too low...

Re:small radiator for CRX?
If i shimmed it, it would wind up needing some thick-*** washers to do it... the head is already sitting higher on the block because of the thicker headgasket (thats why the valve cover hits... the manifold would have hit either way), and the engine that will be going in is going to be MUCH taller than this engine, so shimming is pretty much out of the question for anything long-term... but yea, until i get the other engine in there, shimming it would probably be a good thing

Actually, it probably wouldn't look too bad like that... hehe. :P

Not a problem Jeff It's definately looking good. I was wondering when you'd be taking this step, since it seems only logical for a how-to type site to have some sort of forum. Anyhoo, maybe i'll be able to lend a hand every now and then over here as well as at that "other" board... haha
