UPDATE:

The sample radiator is on its way to Shanghai. Much thanks to Jeff for fronting the postage costs (which he will recover on his order). Kudos to him.

Initial run is 10 pieces with approximately 2 month turnaround time.
Price with shipping included:
US$300 to USA
US$325 to Canada

*We are going with a 42mm thick core, so the stock fans can be used and we avoid any fitment issues*

These people have expressed interest so far:
1) Rick aka Rick89GTS
2) Jeff aka monkey8oi
3) Jeremy aka 86turboswap (52mm core)
4) Robert Pina aka 935 Motorsports
5) ?

I'm interested in one. I've got a 1988 Turbo All Trac

Since I am using an 12" Permacool aftermarket fan that is a lot slimmer, is there a chance to get a thicker radiator core? It needs all the cooling it can get.

Note: this project started Oct 29, 2006 and I'm estimating completion before
Feb 28, 2007. If so, that will be roughly 4 months from start to end; not too bad, methinks. Stay tuned, we'll let you all know soon...

Who do I send the money to and what arrangements do I need to make? I'd like to get this ball rolling on the ST 165 radiator...
My wife's Lincoln Towncar thru a rod without warning on startup a month ago. I managed to buy a Recon remanufactored complete long block on Ebay for $700 plus s/h, but it is a wee bit too cold out in the garage to hassle with R&R on the new engine. It would be alot easier to install the ST 165 radiator.
The best price I've seen to R&R the Town Car's 4.6l V8 locally is $1200. I'm an old geezer (retired Master Clockmaker) who has built many a race engine in the old days and I'd rather do the work myself, which involves tranferring the intake and accs from the old block. I've already hopped up the old 4.6l engine's exhaust and intake systems to push the engine past 300 hp...It's fun watching the look on kid's faces when an old greybeard in a '95 Towncar outruns their new Mustang embarrassingly from a stop light. If I carefully match up the intake and exhaust ports with the gasket, I can pick up and extra 10 horses. Besides, I don't trust most mechanics...I was tweeking stock car race engines before they were in diapers.
In the meanwhile, I'm stuck with feeding a 1977 Ford offroad 4 x 4 truck, whose ravenous 450 ponies from the highly modified monster V8 is putting me in the poorhouse. I'm lucky to see 10 mpg (more like 8 mpg). I'd like to permanently park it. I expect gas to hit $5 a gallon in the not to distant future.
My 88 All Trac is looking very precious now. It's either that or my wife's bicycle. My old bones ache to think about it.
Yup, I'd like to see that new radiator pronto. I've got my $300 cash in hand. I hope the fellow from ASI in China reads this and gives it a green light.
