Hey Richard,
Thanks for the response - I'll see how it works with mine and post some pics when it's done.

Got mine in. I was able to use most of the stock mounting points, and the top two shroud mounting points on the radiator. It runs in the middle of the temp gauge now - woohoo.




For the bottom shroud mounting points I used some large washers to catch the side of the bottom of the mounting tab.


I used two radiator hoses that were close to the original bends for the lower hose, and then used a rubber mounting brace to attach it to the wiper fluid reservoir to help keep it away from the steering linkage.


Tight fit - any taller or further forward and the hood wouldn't close - you can see it peeking through the hood scoop.

Looks great. As soon as I pull the engine out of the 64 and make some "clearance adjustments" to the trans tunnel, I'll try it in there.

Looks good Duff. The upper Radiator hose for a 1989 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 fits real good for the lower hose on the later cars. Napa # 8334.

The fit on mine was the same, but if you looked at the stock radiator it was just as close a fit. You just didn't notice as much because it was black instead of the shiny aluminum showing through the scoop.
