Re: Aluminum radiators!-direct replacement
it would depend on the condition of your radiator. These are high-efficiency cores so they should cool well

Re: Aluminum radiators!-direct replacement
our first batch has sold out. We have a container that arrived last week and we're waiting for it to clear Customs. I expect to have the radiators by mid-week
The initial batch was priced at $189 but those are gone. We got slapped with Customs fees that have forced a price increase to $229

Re: Aluminum radiators!-direct replacement
Mark,
Bummer on the price....but I ordered mine today anyway!! Just confirming these radiators take a standard radiator cap?....and before I buy one off the shelf are you planning on making a cool billet cap....?
Anyone need a re-cored OEM 124 2000 radiator that's never been used?..was set up for an auto transmission but that segment was plugged upon rebuild.

Re: Aluminum radiators!-direct replacement
Mark, I'm guessing you are the guy selling them on eBay for $229. If so, I might be ordering one soon. The flange that holds my rad cap on cracked off and I've tried soldering it on twice to no avail. Is there another way to order besides eBay, I checked your site and didn't see them on there.

Re: Aluminum radiators!-direct replacement
they will be on my site in a day or two. The Fiat cap fits them. I'm not planning a billet cap just yet

Re: Aluminum radiators!-direct replacement
For a 1974 or earlier car you would have to lower the lower radiator saddle, otherwise the radiator will sit too high

Re: Aluminum radiators!-direct replacement
I recall you mentioning that I just want to see how someone does that. Is it just the rubber saddle or the welded on bracket that need to change (or both?)

Re: Aluminum radiators!-direct replacement

Re: Aluminum radiators!-direct replacement
I ordered one of the first and it installed perfectly in my '81... had an aftermarket fan and bracket attached as well.
Car is still on the lift finishing suspension and exhaust and pinion etc etc etc... have not run yet but she should be tuned and ready to roll in 2 weeks.

Re: Aluminum radiators!-direct replacement
There are two different radiator shrouds and of course 79 was a crossover year. If you are using the stock fan and shroud make sure you measure between the two bolts on the right side of the shroud, and then call Mark's shop to ensure the shroud you have will fit, I think the measurement you want is around 11.5 inches.
That being said I have an auto transmission car, the radiator fits great....however you will have to install a separate transmission cooler.
