novita1021 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 what aluminum radiator will work on a '71 dime...?i want to put one of those race style aluminum radiator any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 sorry to state the obvious... but, take some measurements and compare them to the measurements of the radiators either online or in the catalog... also decide where you want you inlet and outlet... there are many "universal" type out there... what kind of motor are you running?

kiznook Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Griffin Radiator Or you can use a fiero rad. they work and fit very well Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Most radiators will fit, as long as it fits or you can make it fit and it's big enough to cool your 510 or that you can find hoses to fit it or modify it. Quote Link to comment
novita1021 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 yeah i heard about the fiero rad but they told me to get it out of a 6cyl...but i like that one that Kiznook posted from griffin....its a lil out of my price range for know but it will be mine soon i hope...lol..:D Quote Link to comment
subedats Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I just put in that griffin from ^^^ in my 76 620. and it fits good. had to make all of the brackets and had to cut the lower tube off the radiator and weld it straight to make it fit around the alternator. but other then that and making my own hoses it seems like a good fit.

Cuts metal like mad Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 damn, $200 is CHEAP! relative to other all aluminum options of course.. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 http://www.sillacooling.com/radiators.htm ask these fool's to see if they have the 510 rad but in aluminum.... They will give you a high price but ask them for there part number.... With that part number go to any Radiator shop to get the part at wholesale price!!! I got my 4runner rad for a good price... All aluminum!!!! For like 145.... It looks like the racer aluminum ones... NICE! Quote Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 damn, $200 is CHEAP! relative to other all aluminum options of course.. Yeah that is actually a very good price. I guess a Rabbit or fiero radiator would be cheaper if you could find em (looks ugly imho). Even recoring the stock one to a 3 core is like $200 or so. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Even recoring the stock one to a 3 core is like $200 or so. i went this route and it works great :sneaky: & still looks stock under the hood Quote Link to comment
