Huge Radiator

95 F250 5.8 4x4Parts Truck is = 85 f250 6.9 diesel 4x4 (engine dropped a valve)The 6.9 has a very large radiator which I paid about $400.00 last year.Think it would a worth while swap to the 85 5.8 and would the modificatopn be too much for the gains in cooling, if any.Also, anyone need any parts from yhe 6.9, it has a Banks Turbo. Don't what it's worth and the condition.Any thoughts.God BlessJohn

I dont see any need for that big of a rad in the 5.8 truck. I've seen complete used turbo setups if complete go for $1000 on ebay.

Most of that radiator would be blocked anyway. Diesels had a different header panel.
