I need to get a radiator hold down like that but without the Saleen. That radiator doesn't look to bad. The only part I dont really like is where the cap will be.

I did all of the welding and grinding myself, started to do the bondo/smoothing over work, but ended up taking it to a local shop to finish. I suck at that, lol. For the finish work and paint it was like $500 I think, you could probably find a cheaper place to do it up in Sac.

It was 179 plus $8 shipping from Summit, should be a direct bolt in if you don't have AC. I have read if you have AC you have to move the lines a bit.

Unfortunatley the Tremec isn't in yet . I have had some money problems as of latley due to a speed contest ticket, impound, and lawyer fees. The good news is I already paid off my car this month, registered it, and dont have to smog it for another year so that's all taken care of. I am just going to get some new Nitto 555's all around and then i'll get the Tremec.
Right now I just have the tranny lines going to my external flex-a-lite tranny cooler. Here's what it looks like on the front of my radiator.

UPR sells them, you might want to talk to stanger91 I think he sells them for a couple bucks cheaper.

I tryed to order one from UPR but I had a big ordeal and will never order a thing from them again. Right now i'm not really worried about it, the stock radiator hold downs work quite well when modfied.

How's the radiator working for you? I think im going to buy one next week. My car is a 5speed. Do you know the modifications i will have to do? DO you know the part numbers for the radiator and the cath can? Does the radiator or catch can come with hold down brackets?

Motor isn't in the car yet, should be soon though and I'll post an update. Also, it looks like it might not clear the hood, but quite a few people have used it without any problems, so I guess we will see.
