Radiators ?

Im replacing my 258 with a 360, my question is did the 6 cyl engines come with a 2 core radiator and the v-8 a three core? Thanks for any info

 

i am not sure what the factory came with but i just bought a four core radiator for my 360 for approx $225. I got it from btr radiator. you can find them on line. i have not installed it yet but it is a high quality unit.

 

Thanks Roadhog I will check it out

 

Yes, if the radiator is available new, that should be the cheapest route. I bought a new radiator for my CJ-6 from RockAuto.

There was a heavy-duty cooling option, which is not necessarily just a heavier radiator. A fan shroud was available, and will help cooling a lot.

My J10 has also had the radiator recored. Certainly you will want as many rows as will fit in the tanks, if you go this route. But it won't be any cheaper than the factory-built radiators you can get online, IME.

 

I recently purchased a 4 core radiator. When I installed it, the fan was about 1 inch away. I was afraid that this was too close so I removed the 3 inch spacer from behind the fan. Now, I am thinking about getting a shroud.

Four inches away------yes, you will need a shroud.

Or, remove the fan, and use an electric one.
