I am looking for a new radiator for my Cobra and stumbled across this...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7976613997&category=33602
This is an aluminum 2 core radiator... I was thinking of buying a 3 core but non aluminum... Would the aluminum 2 core be better then a 3 core copper/brass or whatever they are made of?
I live in Las Vegas and we see 100 degree days pretty constant so I am running a little hot currently
What do you guys think of the radiator?

never bought from them but to answer ur question a 2 row aluminum is better than a 3 row brass, simply because aluminum dissapates heat better than copper/brass

I see you have a 3 core radiator listed on your sig.. what type is it? We both run stroked cars with blowers.. any problems overheating? What would you recommend me going with? Do you run an elctric fan too?

DO NOT BUY FROM DYNAMIC RACING PRODUCTS.


Most people go with the Griffin 31 X 19 inch radiator srom Summit but you have to do some things to make it fit.
I would go for this one which fits better and has the correct size hose outlets.

Customer service issues and a radiator that really doesn't fit. If you are going to buy a radiator that needs modifications to put in the get the Griffin one from Summit. Like this one.

And at least you will have service if there is a problem.

Click to expand...

don't remeber the brand but it was an ebay job for 115 bux shipped to my house. It's actually a brass/copper 3-core, and so far haven't had any overheating isues, but i also have a 180 stat, and a high flow jegs water pump. The radiator is a slim one at that to but its very tight probably 1/2" from the fan. And I still run the stock fan no electric.
