Radiator Replacement

[86 720]

Most likely going to replace the radiator, hoses, pump and thermostat before it gets too hot.

Looking to get an aluminum rad., but not sure where to look or what size, never had to order one before, any thought?

Relevant to my interests. I actually just pulled mine out this morning because I'm replacing my water pump, it's currently sitting in the bed. If you want, I can go take some measurements, other than that no clue on shopping.

its interesting you mention this... because i've been thinking of doing an aluminum rad for a while now

i have not however gotten around to looking for one... i'm not sure they make one specifically for the 720 since its not a common truck to modify... but they might

start with summitracing.com and see what they got... let us know of any finds!

Let me know what your dimensions are... Specifically the mounting bolt patterns as well.

If you replace your old radiator i would like to talk to you about your old one.

Overall width is just under 28", overall height is about 17.5"As far as hoses go, they seem to be about 1.5" ID, but take that with a grain of salt because I don't know how to properly measure radiator hoses and they've probably stretched out a mite good.

Note also, my truck has an automatic transmission, so there are two more small hose connections at the bottom for the transmission.

Your measurements are on the button, including the hose sizes.

Hey hey, yeah, it's me! I want to switch from stock to aluminum radiator and delete the fan for the 720, so I've been all over the Nissan boards.

If I find one, I'll def. give you a good deal on mine.

Sweet, thanks for the measurements!

No probs. I had a custom rad built (not aluminum although I wish I had) for the conversion I'm doing, so I know you're on the mark.
