I've been thinking about getting this radiator for my 74 with the 250 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/All-...023QQitemZ360002364781QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Are any of you guys using this one? It kinda scares me just being a single row...Do you guys think this radiator will cool my car as good as a stock 2 row? Autozone seems to carry the brass 2row for $159...thanks for any info Josh
i think mavdog71 had a friend look at those. i was thinking of an aluminum radiator for my car, but a friend said the aluminum radiators don't cool as well on the street. i'm interested in hearing from anyone running an aluminum rad. on the street.
i agree with Don. i was thinking of going to an aluminum one in my '73 that i'm building but wasn't quite sure. im also very interested to see someone running one on the street, and how well it does before i purchase one
Why wouldn't it work on the street? Most new cars & trucks come equipped with Aluminum radiators now days? Some with even a glass filled polypropylene (Plastic) side tanks.
if the pumps up to snuff, and the rad flows well, why not? and isnt it usually the garbage already in the block i.e. encroached water passages from years of neglect that hamper cooling to begin with? unless were talkin about a fresh block here.
US Radiator has testing data on there site brass vers alum go and read it for your self . us radiator .com / testing htm
i run something very similiar to that with an electric pump, and a puller fan, stays nice and cool. natch, a trans cooler was needed as well as i didnt get a direct replacement. im bettin youll be happy.
I am using a Griffin 22X19. No probs, but like Wages said, I had to add an extra trans cooler. Mine came without any mounting tabs, so this one having them is a PLUS. Saves a bunch of time and screwing around with brackets and screws that eventually wont work. If it bolts right up, it is WELL worth the price.
Hey guys, Jimmy2Gates from the board here contacted the guy that is selling those radiators and discussed getting it built with two rows. This is a direct replacement bolt in and go. He may also make one fully polished. Look for a post from Jimmy2Gates in the very near future about this.
I've got one of those ebay radiators on the way. I'm going to be putting it in my car with a warmed over 302. I'll let you know how it works out. ray
i talked to them also about a...v8 A/C auto, rad....they told me..."not at this time." maybe if we...all... ask they will see a market for them? ...Frank ...
