Hey, I was wondering if you all could do me a great favor and measure your radiators? Im looking to find out the core dimensions (maybe overall dimensions w/tanks also) of both the "tall" and "short" radiators. By tall, I mean the one that came stock in all 83-85s. The shorter ones came in the cars from 79-82 with the front mounted oil coolers directly under the radiator.

Im looking into another radiator because mine was stolen when the car was stolen, and Im thinking about either getting a custom aluminum radiator made, or getting a premade one thats close to the right dimensions so I can "make it fit". Im just toying around with the idea for now because of the 13BT swap I have planned, but I figure Im customizing and building everything else, whats one more thing, and I hear aluminum radiators help a lot with keeping things cool.

I am wondering about this too. What is the ultimate radiator/cooling setup for a Turbo SA/FB ??

SA
22 x15.5 x3


FB
20 x21.25 x2

 

I talked to Andrew online, and he said he measured a 79-80 SA which is the 3 core radiator, and a 83-85 radiator which is a 2 core, and those measurements include the tanks, but not brackets. Basically, all parts that hold water.
