Hot Rods 1935 FORD RADIATOR REPLACEMENT ADVICE?

a friend wanted me to ask what's the best route to go on replacing his radiator in his 35 ford all original 3 window flathead motor and the original radiator still in it. he wants to start driving it long distances. should he have the original redone? buy a new aftermarket? any advice would be appreciated. thanks

 

If he has the money to put in a new radiator and it's a original car I would suggest a Walker Radiator and he can be confident with the quality for years to come.

If cash is a problem he might re core,but that is expensive.

I wouldn't think about a mustang or aluminum for a original car. HRP

 

If you have a GOOD radiator shop that will check/test the original, my opinion is to use it. I did with a '34 Ford I had years ago with a SBC and a pressure cap!!! Otherwise, call walker.

 

Good advice. ^^^^^^

 

my smart ass friends are on the hamb this evening, all ready seen my post and texting me saying post photo of the 35 or it doesn't exit! here you go!

 

My brothers 35 has an original 21 stud flathead with a T5 with a walker radiator. It never gets warm except for when he forgets to turn on the electric fan idling.

 

Sold lots of Walkers, never a problem to date.

 

Nice car. HRP

 

Thanks all. He is going with the walker.

 

I am a firm believer in Walker radiators,the one in my sedan is fast approaching 20 years of age with no problems. HRP
