Could someone give me the location to find the specs for a radiator.
I know there was to be x-number of rows per inch and something about 4 rows,
but that's it.
Is this a core from another vehicle..maybe a school bus or heavy truck....or
does anyone know??

I'm getting a price locally and will compare to the aluminum...which has
extra costs because it doesn't have an oil cooler built in....or so I have
been told.

Thanks guys ...any and all thoughts are appreciated.

Mike,

The AL radiator DOES have both engine and transmission oil coolers built in
-- much more efficient than the OEM, or add-ons.

3/4 tubes on 9/16 centers or as some have put it going from 42 rows to 52
rows and bigger tubes, core with labor for a standard core is about $280,
custom order a big-tube core $520. Labor for the core rebuild is $160. I
paid a total of $680 in 2003.

as someone else says... "just what I did".

Mike,

If you are talking about our aluminum radiator, it does have a transmission cooler and an oil cooler. Both are superior to the original coolers. The radiator gives about 36% more cooling capacity than the original radiator. If you want confirmation, ask any one with our radiator installed.
