Make it an option for you later. Perhaps you can put pushers on the front of the rads later.

The fans that come with the one autopro posted, would they be good enough for a 300hp alum. v8? I know everyone says to use spal fans but would like not to if I don't need to

You will have to check.  Some do, some don't.  Usually not.  Jim

The cheaper fans have only 11 hundred cfm.
Spal that size is 1700cfm. When you put the body on it has bad air flow. To my experience ( I had two 25th reps on Fiero base with Lt1. )
It run 240f  (that is why I changed now in my Diablo build to higher Cfm pulling ) not only that since it was a kitcar all the heat was going or creeping into a cab. Now
I also installed a Oem Murcie muffler that is good 70lbs heavy it is insulated and even after 1/2 running you can put your hand on.
But that is my opinion  easy to fix now then later when the body is on mounted

I don't know if the SPAL fans come with the attachment kit or not but even with the "cheap" fans you will need a NYLON installation kit.  The cheap plastic kits break.  Jim

I would run the cheap ones that come with the radiator and see how they cool then upgrade if needed.

You are looking at the wrong civic radiators.  Check the link out below.  14.5 x 16.5 x 2  It has a double row of tubes and I think that the tubes are either 3/4" or 7/8" long for excellent cooling.  They are not a large area radiator and fit my Diablo nicely.  They have a 1.25" diameter inlet and outlet so you may have to plan out your cooling system for downsizing.  I made two fittings for the air bleeds on the top tank of both of the radiators.  Jim

Do you really need the OEM size of the Murcie radiators?  Are you going to use an OEM Murcie engine?  The Honda Civic racing radiator is one choice for dual radiator replicas and will handle most power plants.  They have an aluminum core which is excellent in cooling systems.  Custom radiators will cost you extra $ and will work also.  Jim
