Anyone know about 4 core radiator for my 88 4Runner. I'd like a 4 core for the extra capacity. I go to Death Valley and Baja every now and then and want to be sure my baby's nice and cool. I've search at Radiator Barn and a couple of other places and could not find what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Advance Adapters has one. It is a 4-core designed for V6 and V8 conversions.

I wonder why its so pricey? I would expect maybe $250 more or less. It also looks much longer than the brackets I wonder what's up this that? Have you seen this radiator?
Thanks Wyatt.

Anyone else know of a 4 row? Thanks

I've got one ready to install w/ my V8 swap. It is much deeper to add the additional cooling for the big engine (needs to have a protective skid plate though).

You may want to prowl the junkyards w/ a tape measure looking for a V8 radiator to find one the right width, then have a rad shop cut it down and put on the mounting brackets.

Try a local rad shop, most will build what you need for a reasonable price.

Before you spaz out on a high price, go to some of the sites for racing parts. Get your measurements and check out some of the single pass and double pass units, aluminum, that are available for $150 and up. www.daymotorsports.com, www.smileysracing.com, Speedway Motors ( not sure web address - in Lincoln Neb.) And maybe best of the bunch, even over Speedway is Behrents at www.behrents.com. Also, you guys with rotted out gas tanks, try fuel cells - better and cheaper than the origional. All kinds of size options. Bill

Body Damage is Cool
Why not just buy a V6 one for a 2nd Gen?? They fit AFAIK

There's post, I think it's on this board, about swapping in an aluminum Mustang radiator. I've got one to go in mine, but it's nowhere near ready to go in. I'll check around and see if I can find the post.

I would rather suffer the consequences of a Conservative?s error, than suffer the consequences of a Socialist's intent.
