what's wrong with the radiator set up? the stock one is plenty for a 20v (it's plenty even for a 3sgte)

well there's only 4 connections that come off the motor
2 big ones (one on each side of the engine) that go to the radiator, and 2 small ones that go to the heater - pretty simple

The 2 radiator pipes that come from the front and come out behind the fuel tank are connected as follows: top pipe goes to head outlet beside number four exhaust port. Bottom pipe goes to thermostat housing on the back of the head. It's back to front to the way the 16v is connected.

I don't know about the heater hoses as I've taken those out of the racecar but it shouldn't make much difference which way those are as its only a loop from the back to the front of the car.

I moved the filler neck from the right hand side by the strut to the firewall on the left. From memory I didn't need any additional hoses either - just used the same ones but in a different configuration.

Hope that helps.
See ya
