2 row full aluminum radiatior

[CountryDriven]

What do y'all think of this radiator for my v8 swap? Would this radiator be better than the explorer 2 core? I really don't want to have any worry's about overheating so tell me y'all's opinions.

It does say it needs "professional" installation as there are no instructions.

Other than that it looks like a nice unit. No plastic tanks is a big plus.

Looks nice. I am a little puzzled as to why anyone felt the need to build a "racing" radiator for a 3.0 or 4.0.

Yeah I thought the same thing, but hey it might work for my application lol. Supposedly 34 other people have purchased it, wonder how many of them actually had a 3.0 or 4.0.

I'd be more interested in how many of those vehicles ever go anywhere while not sitting on a trailer.

Any reason why this radiator wouldn't get the job done for my 302 swap?

Leaning more towards factory 4.0 2 core and explorer mechanical fan at the moment...

Here's what a guy did to his, I'll just have to figure out if my condenser will still have room in front....hmmm:

Which one?

The duff radiator is probably the best way to go for cooling/fit, dunno how it will like your condenser though. Not cheap either.

The one you found on Ebay is intriguing, people use all sorts of racing radiators for swaps so I don't think that would be a big issue.

I have a 2 row Explorer radiator and it works fine. Been mulling over the idea of adding A/C back to my truck and am unsure it will cool it with the A/C dumping heat in front of it (and taking the place where my auxillery pusher fan lives)
