Will this bolt straight into my engine bay without modification?

Yes. This unit uses factory mounting points and OEM hose connections — no custom brackets or adapter fittings needed. Bolt it in and connect your existing coolant lines.

What do I need to flush or drain before installation?

Drain your existing coolant system completely before swapping the radiator. Flush the block and hoses with distilled water to remove debris. Refill with fresh coolant rated for your vehicle.

Do I need new hoses or clamps with this radiator?

Inspect your upper and lower hoses for cracks or soft spots — if they're original and aged, replace them while you're in there. Your existing clamps will work if they're in good condition, but new stainless clamps are cheap insurance.
