What other radiators?

I suppose if the dimensions work and you use an electric fan, then other makes, models, years would work with a little fancy creativity. Anyone using a non-Maverick/Comet radiator?

 

Im using a 87-93 5.0 cross flow... just notched out the inner frame rails and put in rubber to set the radiator into

 

I'm running a generic aluminum cross-flow

Same here. Mine's a Jeg's brand. No complaints!

 

Where do the transmission lines go in?
I have a nice fat Chevy van radiator(350ci) but the transmission lines are on the side instead of the bottom. After I get a cooling fan I can route the water however I need to but the transmission lines need to be routed too.

 

Didn't need transmission lines for my T5. You could always get a separate trans cooler and mount it wherever you want.

 

I suppose so.

 

why don't you use a 3 core maverick comet rad.??

 

I'm going for free or next to free.
I have access to several cars and trucks for parts none of which are Mavs or Comets.

I have no transmission lines in my radiator, I just use an external trans cooler, and my trans temp gauge says it works just fine.

I wouldn't think a Chevy radiator would work so well, just because of where the hose fittings are. Aren't they backwards from Ford and Chrysler?

 

I thought if I ran a cooling fan it wouldn't matter about the water hoses, they could run any way they had too.
External trans cooler sounds good.
