Performance radiator question.. Fummins
I am doing a Cummins build for my 75 f-250 but i need some opinions. Thanks
The stock dodge radiator will not fit in my 75 ford (its also ugly and has a hole in it).
I just ordered a PRC radiator that is a dual cross flow radiator.
My main concern is, did i get a big enough radiator that can cool my stock, to lightly modified Cummins(1989 6bt).
The stock dodge core size is 15.8 tall x 1.5 thick x 30.3 wide that's somewhere around 718 surface area
The one I bought from PRC is 19 tall x 2 thick x 24.5 wide that's 931 surface area.
The radiator has both inlet/outlet on the passenger side, top is 1.75" bottom is 2" just like the stock one.
I also got a SPAL 16 inch fan and an aluminum shroud to go with the radiator... and 16lbs radiator cap and thermostat switch and wiring blah blah..
Any help would be awesome, or info. or ideas. or whatever
Thanks
The radiator is something like the one in the attachment. total size of it is 19 tall, 29 wide, and 3 thick i believe. total thickness with fan is 6.5 inches.
