Big ol' crack in the top tank and I think a few small leaks on the bottom tank.<hr size="1"/><b>Re: radiator questions</b><br/>Post by Barrman on Nov 7, 2006, 9:22am<br/><br/>Now that you know you really need a M715 radiator for the M715 with the 230. What engine do you have?<br/><br/>A 1967 396 Chevelle radiator will basically fit right in if you have a Chevy V8 in the truck. Change the angle on the hoses and it will work with the 230 as well. You can find them online for $150-$200. The biggest Summit aluminum radiator with the Chevy outlets will also work with the passenger side core support moved a few inches. <hr size="1"/><b>Re: radiator questions</b><br/>Post by stanman on Nov 7, 2006, 11:13pm<br/><br/>I still have the 230<hr size="1"/><b>Re: radiator questions</b><br/>Post by brute4c on Nov 8, 2006, 10:14am<br/><br/>I was able to modify a Modine 583 to fit...th is a CJ and A?MC car radiator, 3 core, has virtually the same face area...very very close...<br/><br/>After buying the radiator for around $160, I had to have a little work done...<br/><br/>Upper and lower hose mounts moved from one side to the other<br/>Petthingy had to be moved due to interference<br/>Mounting straps from the original radiator were removed and put in place of the ones on the new one.<br/>New holes needed to be drilled in the staps to mount the radiator.<br/><br/>This unit does have an auto trans cooler...I just didnt use it...<br/><br/>The width, length and height work fine...though it is slightly taller than the stock one...<br/><br/>That stuff ended up costing $75 and so the bill came to $225...<br/><br/>I would go with the Summit model today...<hr size="1"/><b>Re: radiator questions</b><br/>Post by Hetzer on Nov 8, 2006, 9:42pm<br/><br/>I have a stock one that's been gone re-cored that I no longer need.<hr size="1"/>
