radiator. ???

If I can't get the one rebuilt that came with the Jeep (laying on floor) , is there a source for 225'd CJ 5 radiators ?? I tried Radiators.com and the quoted me $499 for a new one..... UGGGGG gotta be a cheaper one out there !!

 

If you are not going for originality buy a griffin aluminum rad the same core size you can pick up a universal fit or racing style cant remember what summit and jeggs calls them for about 190 to 250 and have some one weld on mounts for you or make a mount.

 

Summit has 'em.
Think Dan Stewert bought his from them. :?

 

4wd hardware carries'em. would try a local shop/builder as well.

 

a 65/66 mustang 289 radiator. available in 2,3, or 4 core. steel or aluminum. dimensions very very close to the original ecj5 radiator. outlet and inlet both on passenger side so works great for buick motors. i got one on ebay brand new with a warranty for $120 to my door. i got a 3 core steel model.

 

Did that Radiator bolt in without mods to the mounting brackets?

 

i'm not sure. i haven't bolted it up yet. i'd imagine some minor work has to be done to get it to work, but making a radiator mount is simple.

 

Thanks Lynn , I found out there's a shop in Dallastown .... Napiers or something like that , it's across from Tri Boro so I'm gonna get a quote fromn them this evening , and I'll call West York....

 

I got my factory V6 radiator re-cored back in april for $240 if I remember correctly, could have added another row for $40 more. It works great. They stripped the paint and tanked the parts to clean them discarded the old core and soldered a new one back in, I had to paint it though, the old guy won't paint any radiator.

 

Had mine triple cored cost me right at 3 bills.

 

Well , the shop in Dallastown is not in bus. anymore and West York is closed till' the 9th (on vacation) so this will have to wait till' then....
