Z-train Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Why they couldn't recore it,is questionable. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 That would be too cost effective and little money to be made. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Re-core is the best ave. for you where you live. You can make just about any radiator about the same size work, I am using the smaller 1980 L20b radiator work in my 1980 720 diesel, I just had the shop move the outlets for me, as they both were on the wrong side. Go to a wrecking yard with a tape measure and find something with the outlets on the correct sides and make it fit. Quote Link to comment
Yedi Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 ok well recore may still be a option honestly i got the msg there are problems but they were closed saturday ... heck i was searching frontiers because the floor is the same with and length to find a dobor at the local u pull... going to check another monday Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 As wayno said any rad will do it doesn't have to be diesel specific. All it has to do is fit and shed heat to the air, so larger is better. Quote Link to comment
Yedi Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 all depends on the price.... i did actuallt find one place with a stock one... but it would be 300 pluss shipping from Indiana. .. might be cheeper Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I would re-core myself, but if you need to save money, then go to the wrecking yard and find something with the outlets where they need to be, that is the cheapest way your going to find. As I said, I have a SD25 diesel engine in my 1969 Datsun 521KC, I am using a modified 521 radiator(outlets were moved), and it cools the diesel engine just fine, and it is much smaller than the diesel radiator.
