readasneeded Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Hi All I have a '73 620 that has had an engine swap done to it. I believe it is a z24 engine but dont know the year - I was told perhaps 83. Any way the radiator is shot and I need a replacement however I am unable to find one that fits. The dimensions are 16.75 wide by 13 high - core measurements - 17 inches right to the top. I've included a link to a picture if anyone can tell me what it is and where I can find another that would be great. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151217517076005&set=a.123667621004.136178.582266004&type=3&theater 1 Link to comment

readasneeded Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Ok I figured that much out but all the replacement rads are 25 inches long. - Am I missing something here? Link to comment
72240z Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 whats the prob here? Order one, or take it to a rad shop, or go to a junk yard.... so many options. Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 if thats how you respond to someone wanting some help pls dont bother. Really, you come here for help and criticize the reply's you get? Take a step back, i have FB and just so u know your link doesn't work so calm down, follow this http://community.ratsun.net/topic/691-how-to-post-pictures-and-keep-online-photo-albums/ post a pic and someone will help.

readasneeded Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thank you for those insightful options that I dont think I ever would have thought of. However if any of them were viable I would have done them by now. Radiator is trash thus me wanting to replace it, the size of radiator seems to be nowhere I have looked and I would rather not get one from a junk yard because who knows when I'll be in the same boat again. My post was asking for help in identifying and finding a replacement so if you have any ideas that go out side that tiny box I would so much appreciate it. Link to comment
72240z Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 You should actually take the advice instead of trying to sound slick with your sarcasm. Once again you can order a 620 rad online, you can take what you have and get it repaired, rebuilt or copied at a local rad shop or you can go to a junk yard and find anything that works. If your incapable of checking a radiator from a yard then again take it to a rad shop. Stop talking bullshit and get it done its a simple problem, you ask for help but sit their whining like a noob, thats not going to fix your shit..... Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 YEAH YEAH Garden hose leak test and JB Weld bro Git r done Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 http://community.ratsun.net/topic/47608-need-help-radiator/ really, two threads your issue is that what you have is not the right rad for your truck at least its not the stock options looks like a 620 rad to me Link to comment
izzo Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 hmm. Maybe an 81 or 82 radiator. I think 80, 81/82, and 83-86 had different sized radiators. Jesusno2 and i were discussing this one time, as the valance and grilles are different and it was a giant pain in the ass swapping around. Here is the RAD out of my 1980 720 with L series...

72240z Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Well not knowing how to buy a radiator can be frustrating I guess lol Link to comment
readasneeded Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Ok so to end this thread lets remember we're all here because we have a common interest, that being datsun vehicles. Everyone who posted please look at the post right above this one by izzo. It is the only one that has information relating to what I had originally asked about. I'm not going to argue the points I made as I think I was clear when I said the truck had an engine swap and I was not sure what it was exactly, this probably being that the guy I bought it from didnt know anything about the truck as well as myself. As for being told I was crying like a noob by a senior member of this forum. Thats just where you need to check yourself buddy. I would think you should have more common respect for new members here and realize that if someone is asking for help it probably means that they actually need help and are not just running bs to clog shit up here. This, as far as I know, is not high school so grow up and stop being a douche. Thank you izzo btw, your info helped in narrowing my search for what I need, however I do believe that that rad I need is just not made and it would be too pricey to have one fab'd. I'm just going to modify the space for a new 720 rad that wont have me in the spot again. Link to comment
readasneeded Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 and I posted in two threads to gain a wider audience - one for the part and one for the possibility that someone has had the same issue - it's called playing the field Link to comment

converted_to_datsun Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 If you pull your radiator you can take it to a shop and get it restored for under 100. I had it done on my old Toyota and after that it came back looking brand new and worked awesome till I hit a deer going 60mph and destroyed my truck.... Well good luck Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Hi All I have a '73 620 that has had an engine swap done to it. I believe it is a z24 engine but dont know the year - I was told perhaps 83. Any way the radiator is shot and I need a replacement however I am unable to find one that fits. The dimensions are 16.75 wide by 13 high - core measurements - 17 inches right to the top. I've included a link to a picture if anyone can tell me what it is and where I can find another that would be great. https://www.facebook...&type=3 http://www.outlawradiator.com/datsun-radiator.html#priceresults do you need me to do any thing else for you just let me know Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Great prices! I'd get a 510 radiator and adapt it. 100$ less than 620. Link to comment
