'm not sure why the temp sensor is in the rad when we want to operate/gauge off the engine temp. There is a difference in temp, especially with a closed stat.
I measure the coolant temp at the radiator and engine that way I can see when the thermo opens and compare the cooling.

the shroud may help but it looks like it is not deep enough to prevent blocking flow through the corners and probably will restrict flow at speed. Oems sometimes make shrouds that have poor flow in some areas for clearance reasons but they don't have undersized, thick cores.
I would agree. I put the fan/shroud on and it seems to pulling better but I didn't get a chance to start the engine and test it since the battery a little too low. If it works in the garage I will need to do a test to see if it works while driving.

to mount the rad, I'd cut the flange off the frame so vertical tabs stick out and drill a hole in each one, then make new L tabs to bolt up to the rad tabs and drill holes in those. Then you can adjust the angle by drilling new holes instead of cutting and welding new frame tabs.
Having a hard time picturing this.
Added a pic of the shroud mounted. Not a lot of room in there. A 12" fan is going to sit over the radiator since the edge to the radiator is 12" vertically.

The race spec atoms have a cool little setup
