Old radiator shot, thinking about Jeg's Universal Aluminum, any one done this?
Well, the original radiator after 36 years and sitting on the shop floor empty for too long has finally given out. I've had it repaired once already and it still leaks. I think it would be foolish to trust a brand new $3000 engine to it.
I need a radiator with more cooling capacity than the original 3 row that was in Old Yeller. It didn't keep the engine cool at high RPM's and heavy loads when it was stock. Now that I have the engine in the sig a 3 row isn't going to cut it. I bought a 4 row brass/copper from Radiator Doctor. They said it was a direct replacement but it isn't because the brackets aren't big enough. So I figured since I'm going to have to modify the brackets I'd rather lighten things up and take advantage of the extra cooling of a 31x19 aluminum radiator. Jeg's has a Be Cool AL radiator that is a direct fit but $500 is out of the question. They have a universal 31x19 Aluminum radiator for $179.99 and I wondered if anyone has tried it or one like it in our trucks?
