You centri guys upgrade radiators? If so what clears on your 99 04 cobras with a manual?
So you have a stock radiator and live in a hotter climate than myself Illinois here and for the most part your fine. I should be ok then. I was looking at the mishimoto as they have a revised mounting bracket but I couldn’t tell if it moves it inward towards the engine. Is your Mach a auto or manual?
I have an F-1A with 8 rib HOB Renegade dedicated drive brackets that push the blower out a little more. All I had to do was slot the stock radiator mounting brackets and move it forward. I also had to trim the stock fan shroud too. Even doing both of those things though I still can't put any kind of filter on the blower so had to make do with a wire mesh to at least keep the big stuff out.
I have a 98 Cobra, but they're all the same under hood. I'm currently running an F1A-94 (previously an F1C-94) on the standard bracket with an 8 rib conversion and an aftermarket radiator with no clearance issues. The blower sits close to the expansion tank, but everything clears. Didn't need to trim or clearance anything.
You don’t run the normal charge pipe routing though right? My main issue is the charge pipes on the back of the fan
Do you have a cold air charge running into the fender? Because that pipe is about 2mm from the radiator for me. I tried uploading a pic but it keeps saying its too large! I always get that damn too large thing outside of the bedroom its crazy..... LOL
