Looks better than ever, Tim. For those of you who haven't seen a Ron Davis rad up close, they're truly a work of art, and perform as good as they look.

Nice setup, actually I found thier prices were VERY good for the quality of the piece that you get. I'd recommend Ron Davis to anybody on this site.

I'm running a Ron Davis radiator. It's very similar to Larry's radiator, except it's set up for use with an LS1. I can post some pictures of my raDiator (heh, you're a quick one quicky) if you want.

Thats pretty bas@ss Tim.....

Can you guys intergrate a heat exchanger for engine oil on this same piece, or is this just a specific as-is bolt in ??

Unfortunately the fans now sit in the exact location where the lower transmission oil cooler fitting was located. We had to locate the fans further down to make room for the recovery tank.

The integrated recovery tank will be available on our Big Block & Small Block radiators and the additional cost will be approximately $169.00.

*Not available on the automatic transmission model.

The one you see in the pic was delivered to my door step this afternoon. All I can say is, you will not find better workmanship it looks awesome. The first thing that came to my mind when I took it out of the box was holy s**t theres alot of cooling capacity in that thing.

Tim- Its a work of art!!!- Thankyou

VenturaII,

Can do. I will try to get a buddy of mine top snap some pics tomorrow and I'll get 'em posted. (I've got some software problems with my camera right now, or I'd run down to the garage and take 'em myself.)

I meant, non-transmission related oil cooler....more of an engine oil cooler in the drivers side tank.

I could probably post some pics of mine, it should be very similar to Ralph's.

To add to Tom's request, if an internal oil cooler could be added, could a cooler design be done so that the input and output lines are both at the bottom of the tank? Perhaps a small kickout to allow sufficient room for the fittings? Somehow in the tank there would likely need to be a large radius feed or return tube for the cooler, but it would be kinda nice to keep all the lines down low in the chassis and use straight connectors.

How about throwing in a filter mount and thermostat at the same time :-)

Ventura II,

I didn't want to hijack the thread, so I posted some pics of my rad in another thread: https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7380

Yes, we can do all those things. I'll post some pictures of similar designs.
