K2RD radiator?
I was just browsing the K2RD website and I saw this radiator. Apparentely it's really big and it looks really nice. Has anyone tried this? How does it compare with the fluidyne or koyo?

It's agreat rad .. but its also a pain in the ***. Requries battery relocation & it cost extra if you want a heater hose plug-in made. I dn't think you need that big of a RAD for a 13B unless you want to go through all the extra work. Gey a Koyo, or a fluidyne.

I wish I could find the site again - those are just domestic application radiators. They normally sell for about $250 or so. If you notice, the mounts are on the top and bottom too.
I think the price should be more fair for something that's only a notch or two better than a Griffin that's hacked in .

summit racing sells great Howe radiators. I will be running one on my 10 AE when I am done with my haltech install.
RotaryTurbo is running one on his 11.7 second '91 TII, so you know it cools well.
go to summit racing. here is the description:
Chevrolet: universal, 26 in. x 19 in. x 3 in., aluminum, radiator
part number:
HRE-342A
price:
199.95
takes a small amount of work to get it in, but it is good size.

It's one of the biggest radiators you can fit that's made for the car. The downside is the stock battery location has to be moved, period. The top rad hose needs to be replaced, as I think the new K2RD design does not have the down-turn design like stock.
It'll beat the Fluidyne/Koyo/MazdaComp units hands down because of it's superior double-pass design. None of those other units are double-pass design, and it's just a single-pass and not even a crossflow for that matter.
