Looking for a new radiator
The parts store around here all carry single row replacements or they don't know how many rows they have. I'm just looking for a 2 row alum/plastic for now. Any ideas? I've searched a lot of previous posts and it seems the Summit/Jegs/Northern aluminum rad is not a direct fit after all. Anyone know if this if they have fixed the problem? Thanks, Jay

Re: Looking for a new radiator
Check with Classic Industries. I got a high capacity alum. unit
thats a direct fit. I think it listed for ~$325. Since the vehicle
is still in restoration, I can't comment on how effective it will be,
but it's considerably thicker than the stock unit.

Re: Looking for a new radiator
I ordered my 84 with heavy duty cooling. It came with a mechanical fan and a 3 row copper radiator. I think it was in the order of 16 fins/inch. I went to the local radiator shop and they said they had 4 row/24fins/inch cores which they soldered onto my old tanks. There is a Ferrari dealer a few miles away in Lake Forest, IL, they said they put these cores in the Ferraris' all the time. It never ran hot after that.
