    I'm wondering if anyone has a part number or specific aluminum radiator that would be a direct fit for my 75' 250i6 Mav? I searched for awhile and everyone that is posting is mostly 302s and 351s. Will those ones fit? The inlet for the top is pass. And the outlet on bottom is offer drivers.

    The 250 and 302 share the same part number...D1DZ-8005-A

    Both American Eagle and Champion make a direct fit for mavericks, i have an American Eagle AC339 in my 75. they also make an AE339 (i think) economy radiator that would work for a I6 its a little less expensive,

    It is a Ford number. But don't ask your local Ford Parts Department for a 40 year old part...they don't stock anything over 10 years old if that old.

    Alright, I'll be ordering it from champion later this week. And I've noticed that about Ford. I couldn't even get leaf spring bushings from the dealership for my ma's 85' F150 haha

    Just so you know
    champion is chinese made. Their fins on coee are too thin so they'll eventually break from core allot quicker then a quality rad loosing cooling efficiency due to heat extraction..
    with that being said, allot of us had good luck with the 2 row/core rad
    the 3 and 4 are simply gimmicks and leak within a week or 2..
    Ive been through 2 of the 4 rows in 3 weeks till i smarted up and purchased a quality USA rad..

    I agree with you on a 4 roll radiator. The radiator is too thick that the air flow is bottle necked trying to pass through the core. When the air does reach the 4th roll the air is now too hot to do any cooling.

    So if I want a quality one I can trust from the start, I sshould get a 2 row from RnD fabrication from the get go?
