intercooler from an International truck

Any of you ever use an intercooler from an International truck. Its is about 8in high if I remember correctly and almost 4in thick and about as wide as an NPR. It also has inlets and outlets that are about 2.75-3.00in. It has very thick veins if that’s what you want to call them. Looks like it would be nice since it would only cover about half the radiator. I am just trying to get some info on them as I saw one when my dad rented a truck and was really tempted to take it.

thanks

the Fro

My shop teacher uses one on his 280z with a GN engine running 25lbs. Picked it up for 30 bucks and said nothing else he's tried has even come close to it.

Actually the heat those big 'ole trucks put out is insane. The intercooler they use is top notch, dont let anyone change your mind. Just make sure you dont skimp on piping and use straws for pipes

but I have no idea how good some of those are. Like how well they flow or the quality. Anyway your right ebay is my best bet and i will most likely end up getting one off there anyway.
