NJ fc ls1 rad set up

hello my name is james. my car is a lq4 swapped fc rx7. at this point my car is a shell that i am prepping for paint. so i figured since it is apart i should address some of the things that i really disliked about my swap. one of which being the granny's radiator setup and how it sits higher than the rad support. so my question is what are you guys running for a rad that sits flush with the rad support and does not hang down low. please give dimensions of rad and if it is a off the shelf or custom made. would like to stay full aluminum. thank you james

I settled on a 28x19 dual pass radiator and a c6 z06 air bridge to replace the granny's setup and current intake.

I am still in process on mine, so I cannot say how cool the car stays. I used a Griffin 22x19 with a Taurus fan setup.

I am also using the Taurus fan but I ordered the rad with a shroud to match with no hole cut in it that I am going to trim the Taurus fan to fit.

Nice. I still have a little more trimming to do with mine to get it just how I want it. Have to finish mounting brackets as well.

I used sheetmetal and formed a cradle for it.
