RnD Fabrication: Custom Crossflow Radiators & More

[SparkyRnD]

Bringing this thread up from the dead. In addition to Wrangler and F100 radiators, we also make them for many other makes and models. We mainly build them for hot rods, but can make them for just about any application (we even make them for fork trucks for industrial use)!

You can contact us here, by pm, by email or give us a call.

Pricing for a Crossflow Radiator 72 Scout II with tabs for electric fan.
Also a coolant overflow can.
CA 91763

[SparkyRnD]

I would recommend our heavy-duty Scout II radiator, as it's taller and better suited for warm climates (it is a downflow style). That runs $425 with Pirate4x4 discount, and includes the shroud tabs and a transmission cooler (we can remove it if you run a manual transmission). Coolant overflow, round with petcock on bottom is $90 Pirate4x4 price. Shipping will be $54.

If you want the smaller crossflow, that is $350 Pirate4x4 price, and shipping is the same. We have a 2 week lead time right now.

[SparkyRnD]

We have one heavy-duty version in stock at the moment, and it's ready to ship out immediately. Everything else is built to order.

For those that ordered in the last couple weeks, I have emailed you updates with tracking numbers and copies of your invoice. Thanks for the orders!

How much for one for a 87 Grand Wagoneer with a 12v cummins?

[wildbill69]

how bout cj7 w/5.oho? one prob. i,m haveing is clearnce on power steering lines, I have a 1in. body lift but not anoft.

[SparkyRnD]

We only have them for the YJ jeeps at the time, but if we had a good original to build from, we can make one for a CJ

89 yj sbc- do you offer a cross flow radiator? Or is there a benefit to the down flow design? Thanks

[SparkyRnD]

no, as there really isn't enough room to make a crossflow fit well based on the available space. We made the YJ version a downflow as the available area was taller than it was wider, which is better suited to a downflow for fin coverage.

[bwall]

2 row? 1"tubes? Any idea of the core measurements? I'm very interested, do you have the yj sbc with trans cooler(is it a plate cooler) in stock? Price with shipping to Augusta ga

[SparkyRnD]

Our radiators are all build with dual 1" thick cores, for a total thickness of 2" (same as a brass and copper 4-core radiator). Ours fits in the same location as stock with no modifications required. We can build them with an integral cooler at no additional charge. The radiator is $375 with Pirate4x4 discount. Shipping to you will be around $35 based on zip code. We have about a 2 week turn around on average right now.

Can you PM me a quote for a Dodge Ram V10 1998 radiator w/ aux cooler? I can give measurements if needed

[zachv]

We are building a new buggy currently and I am wondering if it is smart to combine a few coolers into one unit. I would like engine coolant, transmission fluid, and engine oil together and then another one for power steering fluid. For the main combo unit I would have 38" widex22" tall to work with and would like two fans. This rig will have a mild 5.3/6.0 motor and TH350 trans and will be racing and crawling.
Let me know what you think and what you can come up with.
Thanks.

We can build them that way, but I would recommend only having one cooler build into the radiator as two could overwork it. I'd keep the oil cooler and power steering as two separate units, or one larger unit that would have two separate coolers. For mounting, where on the buggy are you wanting them, and what kind of mounts would you need? Email me at sparky@rndfabrication.com with details and I can start working a price.

[SparkyRnD]

Also to clarify, we use tube style coolers that are built in to our radiators. We tried using plate style and had a few leaks, so we went back to the tube style and have had perfect results.

Can i get a price for a YJ that has a chevy 5.7 V8 cross flow shipped to 63119 please. thank you!

[SparkyRnD]

Radiator is $375 with Pirate4x4 discount, shipping is $40. Also, the ports can be located anywhere needed at no additional charge. The YJ style is a down-flow due to space constraints.

[SparkyRnD]

all PM's replied to. Thanks for the business guys!

[SparkyRnD]

bringing this back up again. Remember that we can build crossflow or downflow radiators for most anything, even if we don't LIST them on our website. We build all of our radiators with dual 1" cores for a total thickness of 2" (same as a 4-core), and we NEVER charge extra for transmission coolers or to change port locations for engine conversions!

Bringing this up from a few hundred pages back!

[SparkyRnD]

For those that have asked, here are some basic bits of info:

1. yes, all of our radiators are made here in the USA by hand, by American employees
2. we build most everything to order, including the overflow bottles, valve covers, radiators, et cetera
3. turn around time is usually 2-3 weeks depending on our work load (small company)
4. we can build custom radiators for most any application, with or without mounting brackets
5. our radiators are all the same thickness as a 4-core
