I want to go with this radiator Griffin 1-25241-X - Griffin Aluminum Pro Series Radiators - summitracing.com

Then having local radiator shop add the extra bung for the oil cooler line.

What do you guys suggest. It's going to be a rear mount, facing forward not sideways. with dual electric fans.

Thanks
I know a few guys that are running a honda aluminum radiator purchased off ebay. I think they are like a 100.00 w/o fans.
In the El Toro group there a 2 busa powered rails using them with great results. I use a radiator similiar to the link just a different brand. They also work well, just keep in mind that you'll need to purchase a fan, schroud, and a control box or temp switch to complete the assembly

PWR makes a radiator just for motorcycle powered buggys. Its 22 x 12x 1-3/4 . Has a shroud and a Spal fan mounted and 1 inch inlet and outlets.Or -AN fitting also. You can call and have it ordered. with in/ out facing forward , backward , top and bottom, left and right. It will run about $550.It keeps my motor cool no problem what so ever.

That sounds like its a single row radiator by the fact that you said it's 1-3/4" thick.
IS it a dual or single?

The local speed shop could not figure the manufacture and the part # was of little help. The local auto parts store had no idea. Mine has steel braided line so I know this one accepts the fittings and might be a better choice than the one with the barbs. And as an added bonus I saved 75.00 over the Bosch at OutFront. The things you can learn here.
It looks as if this Carted pump would be better..Huh Carter GP5000 - Carter In-Line MFI Fuel Pumps - summitracing.com

Then the Summit brand because it is tapped for fittings on the inlet and outlet "VS" the summit brand that has hose Barbs. Summit SUM-G3138 - Summit High-Flow Electric Fuel Pumps - summitracing.com

If I'm going from a fuel cell and I'll be running braided lines everywhere. Wouldn't make more sence to go with this one? What you guys think?

I want to order this today, Just wanted to make sure I get the right one. Thanks

I use Walbro pumps. Very reliable. There's 4 sizes available and you can put AN fittings on them.

What model Wlbro are you using? Does it cost more then the Summit ones?
I really don't see wasting a extra $100.00 on a fuel pump for a motorcycle motor. It's not like it's a big block chevy motor with a lot of fuel dumping through it. Look how cheesy the stock fuel pumps are on these bikes and they work fine. even after a lot fo engine mods.
