[TPR] Radiator, wheels, tires (e: Intake manifold photos)

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Just head from Ron Davis radiators.  Yes, they make a Pantera  
radiator, but it's sold exclusively through Pantera Performance  
Center, please contact them.

Argh!  That's a $1,400 proposition by the time I add in the new  
sensors.  I contacted Becky a few weeks ago to get a quote, so I  
already know what they charge.

I guess I could try for a custom but that'll probably cost a ton too.   
Best to suck it up and buy the Fluidyne from Summit as it's the  
cheapest alternative right now.  (yes, even cheaper than buying a  
stock brass one from a vendor).
