I have seen cars on the net with the half style radiator in a 88-91 hatch but the thing is I have talked to a few people and said that u have to hack the crossmember so I kinda dropped it at that.

But now, I am going t3 and kinda need the room. If anyone can provide me a link or maybe a write-up with pics. I would be very greatfull.

Thanks,
Tony

I haven't seen any write-ups on it, but you should be able to look at it and see what needs to happen for it to fit. If you don't want to hack the crossmember you can tilt the radiator and remove the hood latch section and use hood pins to keep the hood closed. Other than that you have to just stick it in and see what needs to be cut for it to fit.

i did put in in and look at it but it looks about 2 inches too tall.. I dont want to ruin my cf zc hood for a radiator..lol but I wont mind hacking the crossmember.

I just see alot of em on the net and just never had the time so tear into my car and figure it out.

I want to do this also, since the deer i hit busted mine!!! Im picking up one for a good price, and i can use teh room in my 4th gen! Im guessing that its nothing a Sawzall cant handle??

Does anyone know where to get a CHEAP thin fan that will mount up on it?

ive done it. wasnt that bad. it does sit about an inch too high. after a lot of grinding and cutting i got it to fit with the stock fan too. id take pics for u guys but i dont have a digital camera.

that's kinda what I am looking for but how far does it have to lean back..? mahcivic, does urs sit straight up and down if you could get pics it would be awesome..

what about the bottom hose? and clearance issues

it only leans back a lil bit, maybe 2inches. i did have to mod the crossmember but it was nothing my BFH couldnt take care of.
