Radiators

[k20]

does anyone know of a cheap source for 6.2 radiators? After christmas Im gonna start workin on the ole 1008 again, and the radiator that was in it was junk. I guess I could always put in a regular size 4 core like I have on my 496, but then I would have to do something for an oil cooler.

Cheap source would be used... I have 2 good used diesel radiators. 1 came out of an '85 Suburban with 200K + miles but no leaks for $25 plus the ride. The other came out of my '84 M1028 with 28K miles with no leaks for $75 plus the ride.

Now shipping one of these won't be the cheapest and it would take me some time to round up packing material to ship it so it shows up in good condition still, but it can be done for less than half the price of a new one.

X2 on used.

I've considered swapping to a new aluminum 2 row w/ oil cooler. Plenty of those can be found for various prices. I have yet to find good conversion tables though other than the general figure of twice the efficiency. Same for going external with the oil cooler
