    I have this radiator pictured.. $900 price tag In the 70’s a guy cut the side mounts off plugged one inlet/outlet and flipped the radiator on it’s side to fit under the hood of a willys Jeep. well skip to 2020 and I can not find a 15” tall 20” wide radiator anywhere. Does anyone know where I could find a match or something close? The one I have cracked..

    So what you are looking for is a radiator to fit a Willys jeep (year unknown) that has a Chevy engine?

    Looks like that one is made for a '40 Ford.

    yes it’s a 1949 cj-3A.. anyways a Facebook group suggested a radiator built for a v8 swapped Chevy Vega. There $100 on eBay and the exact dimensions I need I’ll just have to figure out a hose for the outlet and I think I’m all set. Here is the Vega radiator I’m gonna try to use. 581FCA3C-494F-469C-8C8C-E78F695744B3.jpeg
