Radiator

I'm trying to find someone that would be able to core a radiator for a 351 ford windsor engine, does anyone know of anyone that does this kinda work and would they recommend them?

Carlow radiators in carlow town near the old beet factory recently put a core in a rover V8 for me and have done some US rads for me in the past
Reckon its worth a try , only real snag is that you have to get the rad to them in order to see if it can be fixed.

Radiator services in Rutland Place are very good. 01-8740626.

However, the price might not suit you!

what car is it out of?
one of my regrets on the car front is selling a ford falcon xw, it had a 351 clevland, I just loved the way the engine ticked over, and the whole car with it...

It's out of a 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe but the engine is a '69-'74 351 Windsor engine with roller rockers and has been ported. Originally thought that it was a 289 engine but to my surprise when we took off the rocker covers we found all of the above, happy days.

I've replaced every other part of the cooling system except for the water pump and now that the engine is out we are doing a top end rebuild so we might as well core the radiator while we have the chance.

sercs or serks in dublin are pretty good have had the anglia rad done with them 100 euro though and it was a small rad but there friendly enough and usually takes a day or 2

Might work out not too bad to get a new radiator from the US, NPD or cali mustangs.

Ah, ok.

Yeah, the fuel is a killer. I had a WB Stateman Caprice in Brissie. Never late in a 308, so they say. But a 90 litre tank only ever got me 350ks max around town. So I sold it for a song - $1750 I think. Paid for my ticket over here - but I still regret not keeping it...

Try Ebay either,you could pick up an aluminium Griffin radiator for not a whole lot more and it would look the part , Autozone in the US are pretty
reasonable also

$165+shipping+tax about 25% from NPD,and their international shipping prices are not particularly cheap I find.Might be cheaper to have one made up.
