Berto's thread is the one I'm using for my radiator setup. Already have the Fiero fan and Monte Carlo radiator, and I just cut the metal tabs so I mount it straight up and down.

Well, I got it up and running!  Turns out all it needed was plugs, fuel filter, and gas drained!

Now my dilemma... with everything done to it, it's worth quite a bit of money... money that could go a long ways towards my build if I were to locate an ACTUAL non running FC.  I hate to pull a perfectly good motor and trans out when there are so many out there that have been pulled, or need pulled.  So, I think I'll be selling this and pocketing the profit... after price paid, parts, and transport, I'm in it for a little over $1300. Could easily see $5,000 outta it... if not $6k with these wheels.
