Re: Radiator opinion.

I recently purchased a no name 3 core aluminum radiator from the ebay for my 69 (the price was right in a pinch.) Now, it sits in front of a mildly warmed inline 250, which probably doesn't produce as much heat as a SBC (lots of circulation space around the 6!) but the original 1 core was by 2017, pretty taxed doing its job. I swapped my 180 thermostat out for a 195* and so far it cools without fault. Engine runs at an average of 193* and I have even experienced a slight MPG increase with the warmer running temp. Until I discover a reason to knock it, I'll put the $300 I saved towards something else. Stay COOL !!
