Default Big radiators

Im looking to fit a 60mm core rad and 62mm intercooler on my escort cosworth but wondering how close it will be to the crank pulley. Will i be fine with standard fans or have to upgrade to the slimlines????????

I had a pro alloy intercooler and rad on, not sure if they are bigger (thicker) than standard to be honest (I think they are) and had standard fans on - but it was pretty close to the pulleys!! Got the slimlines on there now though.

unsure why he rad is that big??? i run a Ah 65mm intercooler and i think its 50-55mm rad and that never overheats so why they need to go to 60mm+ i dont know? i run the std fans and fits fine std stuff altho quite heavier is better due to the design...

the reason for the 60mm core was because its being built for track only

You will have to use the slimline fans then .

We had to take my pro alloy fan mount off and use push through fittings on my slimline fans to get my rad to fit after fitting a 65mm proalloy cooler. Still only have about 10mm max between fans and pulleys
