    I have a 1970 cj5 with a 225 v6. I'm looking for tips on finding a radiator. I'm sure most of you are aware the dauntless v6 radiator seems different, the lower hose is on the right with the upper in the middle. Looks like the upper could be more flexiable but the lower needs to be on the right.

    Thanks,

    If you find a radiator that fits, any good radiator shop can move the hose locations on the radiator.

    Welcome from Iowa. I have a 66 CJ-5 radiator that is about ready for the scrap heap, Top tank is good, as is bottom tank, but outlet is missing. Needed that for the mustang radiator I used in my 2A with a v-6

    First, as per forum rules, please keep business deals via pm, e-mail, or in the classifieds ;).
    The late '69-'70-'71 radiator is unique in that it is wider than the older radiators. That's what makes them so hard to find. The grill/shroud is also different to accommodate this.

    I just purchased a new radiator from Walcks for my '67 with 225 V6. It's actually a 3 core instead of the original 2 core. Fits right in, no extra drilling or mods.
