Seeing as a new one costs upwards of $400, yeah, that's a great deal. The real question you should be asking is "why would I need this severe of a radiator for my application".

Good point, Archiditcus... My good friend dished out 400+ bucs for his Fluidyne radiator and definately regrets it.. He has a fully built B18C with 12.7:1 compression and everything, and he claims he doesnt need that much radiator.. It actually makes his engine take a really long time to get up to running temp..

Too much radiator CAN be a bag thing..

Does a radiator slow down the process of warming up your engine?
I always thought that the engine warms up, and then the thermostat opens then you you have fluid circulateing through your radiator.

Sweetttt deal.

Bent fins are very acceptable.
I prolly could achieve the same effect
here in hawaii driving through the north shore.

Our roaches and insects are huge during the night!
