Rad Swap
Is there a better performing rad that fits my 72 4x4 with little modification? Blew a leak in my stocker, just wondering what to look for in the junkyard. I have a sweet 4core that is just the right width, but I found out the hard way is a couple inches too tall.
Anyone found a good fitter? |

Re: Rad Swap
I have the taller one zipped tied in. Just yesterday bought the right one off a member. The PO made mine work by bending the transmission lines. It's fine for a temp rad but I am glad I'll be replacing it. If I had the money it would be a aluminum one.

Re: Rad Swap
Brass and copper one about 6 weeks ago.4 core and about $200 at the LAPS.If you have a 2 core you need new mounts and a drill to put them in.
