Walker Z type Radiator

Has any body used a 32, 2" shortened Ford Z type radiator with a stock 53 merc. flathead ? Will the water pumps push enough water through the three cores to cool the engine ?

 

I have a Walker Z radiator with a bored (3-3/8") 99A Merc block flathead. Stock rebuilt 40 Ford water pumps. It runs really cool. I think the trick is getting the engine water jackets clean. Mine were sandblasted out when it was rebuilt.

 

I used 3 inch chopped Z line radiator on my last FH deuce and had no flow problems. I also used a Cooling Components fan and it ran cool.

 

Have one as you describe in my avatar and never overheated over 7 years.

FYI: fee free to call Walker and share your concerns. Nice people to talk with and they will make you feel good about your choice.

 

Thank you all for putting my mind at ease.
