by docmcg Fri Jul 23, 2021 12:44 pmHave searched all over the forum for info on a replacement radiator. Because our trucks and vans are prone to running hot at times, I’m considering a three row radiator. Probably aluminum as well. Anyone have info on where to get such an animal?

Yep... Not cheap.
A few people on the forum have run them and reported that they are good quality and had good results keeping the engine cool.

OK... I have been looking at pictures of the most popular replacement aluminum radiators.
In the pictures the outlet on the bottom of the radiators is always on the passenger side. On my radiator it is on the drivers side. I assume that my radiator is stock ( but I'm not positive).
I have a 318 in my van, is the outlet for a V8 on the drivers side and a 6 cylinder on the passenger side or has a previous owner modified something?
