Radiator for my 40-question

[77cruiser]

Looks like my radiator sprung a leak in my driveway so I scored a very mildly used 4 row radiator from a guy up the street for a solid price. Thats a direct drop in right? I dont need to do anything different on it do I? I believe its the one CCOT sells.

Should be a direct drop in, just make sure you pay attention to the shroud and how close the fan gets, make sure the tolerances are there.

^^^^ What Greg said.

I went with a cheapie 3-core replacement from JTO and it just didn't get the job done. The 40 was constantly running hot. I switched it out for a 4-core, and now it almost cools too well. Takes a while to get up to operating temp.

Nice I should get it in next week. Good to hear the good news since its hot as sin outside right now.

Hey Josh - If you haven't installed your radiator yet and want some help, let me know.

I actually need to do the same thing on my 78 right now.

Andy, I will def take some help. I am getting the radiator from the guy on thursday sometime. you around this weekend? Sounds like a pretty easy job so I am sure the 2 of us could make an entire day of it.....

Cool, give me a shout later this week when you have the radiator and we'll see if we can get our schedules lined up.
