Radiator Dimensions?
Anyone know what the 4 Core Radiator Dimensions are for our Trucks?

re: Radiator Dimensions?
I did some checking on that. As far as I understand they are the same as your stock radiator. They use the same tanks and brackets and place four row cores in them. I was also told they are not as strong as a three core (just for info). They said if your temp runs at the right temp and doesn't overheat you shouldn't run into early failure. Here is a site you can look up your application.

re: Radiator Dimensions?
Aren't the 4 core those huge ones that came on the HD 390 and later on 460s? The one that has tanks the size of a bath tub.
I bought the next size down (3 core) for a 72 I built once. It was only a 302 but even with just an electric fan from a K car it would have to idle for 1/2 hour before the fan came on, around 198 I think. The fan never came on when moving or even on heat soak after shut down.

Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

re: Radiator Dimensions?
Have one custom built. Take your radator to them for deminsions. The thickness should be the only thing that changes. I beleave it is 1/2" thicker.
You can also get cores that are 3/4" wide a piece. I was told that a three core that uses the 3/4" wide cores are more effeciant that a regular 4 core radiator.
