Get some from Jegs or summit. They sell universal fit radiators in sizes that fit the RX-7 for about 200 bones. I do not know the outlet style of a rex as it compares to a Ford or Chevy, but you should be able to engineer it. They are good to over 400 HP. Also, try Grannys Speed Shop. They sell a radiator for a V8 swap with all the ducting and everything. Should be plenty to handle your spinny engine thingy.

Angry No 1st gens!

Nobody lists first gens for performance parts such as upgraded radiators.

Heres the solution if you got a 1983-1985 with the tall radiator.

Get an older radiator from a 1982 or before with the thick end tanks. Bring the old radiator and your current radiator to a custom radiator shop. Tell tehm you want a radiator to replace the tall type, but tell them to use the old style end tanks, a 3 row core as tall as your tall 2 row, and the brackets off your old 2 row.

The old style end tanks will hold a 3 row core, which is how themy make the 3 row short style, just use the stock end tanks and a 3 row core.

I claim no resposibility if your radiator shop clogs it with solder, ovver cahrges you, laughs in your face, or destroys your car.
