I'm still in the planning stages of dropping a chevy 350 in my yj and I was wondering about the radiator. I am going to go out on a limb and assume that my stock radiator won't keep up with it correct? Aside from buying a brand new one, is there a radiator out of anything that will both fit in my yj and keep the small block cool?

It's going to be a custom fit no matter what route you go, either a custom built one or a donor radiator.
I have a custom radiator from Bryan McCulloch at alumrad.com It is designed for the 6 cyl. YJ and it came with brackets, but it may not work for you. I'd give Bryan a call and see what your options are.

Handfull of other fun toys...
And a brand new, spit shined, B.S.
Oh, and a job to boot.

The Chevy radiator inlet and outlets are on opposite sides from the stock YJ radiator. Many Jeep parts suppliers sell a custom HD radiator made for Chevy swaps into YJ's (Also for CJ's & TJ's).

Thats what I wasn't sure about. I've seen the custom ones on-line, I was just hoping I could find a used one out of something and save a bit of money but I guess it's an area worth spending a bit of money on.
