Guys with centri blowers/aftermarket radiators come in - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Anybody run into these clearance issues with aftermarket radiators? I just installed a mishimoto 3 core and my AFM powerpipe is not going to clear the top of the radiator or the fan harness. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I had to move my sensor. I cut that piece out and fabbed a new holder and mounted on other side of fan shroud

Do you have any pictures or a more detailed description of how you did it? Thanks.

You could skip the piping and go either mushroom filter or race screen......

How about you just not run a power pipe and run an open impeller? Mine's been open for 3 years now...

Makes me a little nervous doing that. I made it fit bybending the connector down.

I just cut mine off and moved it over a little. I don't have a power pipe or a new radiator, but my radiator support was hit and moved closer to the motor so I have less clearance in that area.
