It does. It's the entire deal: intake, radiator, shroud, expansion tank, and all the hoses.

I just finished the install tonight so haven't had a chance to take it for a ride. Should happen tomorrow.

Do they make any injector covers you could use to clean up the engine bay a little? Obviously you don't want the Corvette ones but like for my Mustang you can get custom ones that say anything you want.

I made one out of cf for a customer a long ### time ago. It's pretty easy to do if you have tue orginal vette cover.

I do like the tucked wiring. Awesome work

Temps are running cooler with the new radiator. It's also much easier to bleed with the expansion tank. Just need to swap out that fuse box. I was able to hide it with the old shroud but not anymore. It's pretty beat up.

It does look really good. It's a much cleaner look than the old setup.
