Desperately looking for a radiator

[Elaine]

Does anybody know where can I find one? I looked everywhere, I couldn't find any.
Any help or hint will be highly appreciated.

Dale over at svx-motorsport said he ordered some of the Sillas when they were just recently available in a new batch

they didn't have any a month ago when i needed one. silla said they didn't have any either, with no plans to make more. i ended up buying from dealer. there are tons listed on auto parts web sites and ebay but be careful as the majority won't fit or are out of stock. if you are really desperate my old one actually wasn't leaking yet but i feared it was close to doing so. the top tank has a weak spot that you can see move when you squeeze the upper hose but no coolant actually came out.

Elaine,
I have been looking for some for a while now, Dean at radsus SAYS he will have a new batch in on the 15th.
I now need at least two.

Sounds like it's time to do some tech scanning and see what universal/aftermarket stuff we can fit.
I've been wanting to switch over to a crossflow radiator for a while now anyways.

i found a vw scirocco radiator that would fit but the hoses would need to be crazy long and bendy

Way ahead of you kid.
In my Claret for, what, twelve years(?!) is a crossflow Mustang or something, and I have installed LOTS ot 2" thick two row STI/WRX radiators BUT you need to cut off the lower rad lugs, use specefic hoses wire in aftermarket fans and aswitches, ect.etc.etc.
Might have pictures in the locker or on the computer.....

No experience with this vendor, but says it fits the SVX, and has 12 in stock...


if it fits, it is a common radiator for a Chevy K30 truck from 1977-1986 ...would be nice to know if it does....

I figured as much
Crossflow mustang was one of the options I was looking at.
My main concern is depth fitment since there's only so much room between the fans and the accessory belts.

i have a 79 k5 blazer with a k30 radiator. it wouldn't fit between the ground and the top of the hood of an svx. that's the problem with buying parts online.
