It is the orifice in the siphon that matters. House size is immaterial. If there is enough flow the siphon will work. Basically most of the time it should work Fine

Should fit no problem...might need a bit of trimming...but there are lots of options for that

The E85 should be OK...but you will need more overhead to make sure you have enough fuel

I think the pump body is the same size as stock...the bottom is just bigger dia

I would think it should be an easy fit

Hey Dan are you using oem radiator on your car or aftermarket. I'm in the process of getting a new radiator but I don't know if it's going to be worth it

Are you sure its a quad? RD only advertises 2-core even for their Nascar rads. Typically the 2-core is 3" thick. Is yours 5.5" - 6" thick (less fans)?
