Hey guys,
My buddy 'Mowpar" down here in NZ is looking to upgrade his cooling system. The panel guy and engine rebuilder have both said that 26" radiators is where it's at now. So the plan is to cut open the cowl panel and fit a 26" radiator where a 22" currently sits. We have gained as much cooling as possible with swapping out fans and clutch units etc...but still getting too hot at times.
This does not have to be a factory radiator - but I need to find a good quality "stock appearing" radiator - prefer 3-row, and black.
NOT looking for aluminum radiators ...trying to make this look factory, but obviously without the numbers.
This is purely for reliability in slow traffic and processions etc.
Thanks for any leads to the best place to purchase.
