    Thank-you so much for posting! Been looking around for a radiator to finish my V8 install.

    Patrick...just following up with this thread. I had my original radiator pressure tested; but, it ended up leaking when we went to fill it with antifreeze. I just placed an order with these guys. Very helpful! They still honored the $200.00 (shipping included).

    I'm hoping you are still happy with the one you got...

    Well, I don't have the Jeep any more, but I did see it driving through town today.:)
    I'd order the same one today if I needed one.

    This one didn't work for me. Your grille must be different than mine. The height was good, but it was short by 3" on each side of the radiator. I found a radiator shop that will attempt to fix the old one...they said it wasn't too bad. I guess we'll see how good their return policy is :)

    Purty!!! I dropped my coolant about 15 degrees with a similar swap but part of that may have been due to a much tighter shroud fit that went along with the swap. I also had a fan blade clearence problem with my outlet but just reclocked it to clear.

    Like an older friend of mine said, "It's either tuition or intuition." I guess this one is tuition for me :)

    You'll be very happy with it. Like Patrick originally said, expect 5-10 degrees cooler...I need a cardboard shield when it's cold out.

    Hi, I'm looking for a replacement for a 69 CJ5, with the V6. Did this mount up pretty well?

    Thanks,
    Jim

    This likely would not work for 69. The radiator in 69 was alot wider than the earlier models.
