What radiator should I buy for my 240?
Greetings fellow Z drivers.
About a week ago I picked up a '73 240z with an L28 5 speed swap. Body is pretty good condition aside from some scary holes in the floor pans. Other that, she really just needs a radiator and I think I get her road worthy. Now, unfortunately, I am on a very low budget due to having been recently laid off. That said, what would be my best choice of radiator? I'm just going for daily driver, not race queen. Right now I'm looking at:
Mishimoto MMRAD-DATS-70 Aluminum Radiator for Datsun 240Z Manual and Automatic Transmission : Amazon.com : Automotive
Or maybe something cheaper off ebay like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALUMINUM-RACING-2-ROW-RADIATOR-2-X-10-BLACK-FANS-70-75-NISSAN-DATSUN-240Z-260Z-Z-/190659580127?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A240Z&hash=item2c643250df&vxp=mtr Here is a picture worth approximately one thousand words: http://i1351.photobucket.com/albums/...psb766218d.jpg And here is the in progress photobucket with more pics if anyone is interested: 240z Project Photos by theshanmancan | Photobucket Please do not hesitate to speak up with any other suggestions or any advice as this is not only my first Z but it's also my first restore. |
Both are nice, but what I would do is make a custom mount with some spare aluminum and use a 80's camaro radiator that can be found at almost any parts store. Thats what I did when I had a 320rwhp lt1 280z and never had overheating issues.

Update:
I went big and got the Champion 3 row with matching shroud. I know it's overkill for a DD and I could have for sure gotten the 2 row, but the price difference wasn't huge and I am still not entierly sure where I will go with this car. For everything it was probably $400... so needless to say... I hurdled clear over budget, but nothing is too good for my baby! *slurps ramen noodles while staring at empty bank account* Against my better judgement, I got this . Attachment 15888 |
