I've seen a few folks looking for small radiators, myself included. Everywhere I look, dimensions are for the core, not overall dimensions. I heard Modine gives overall dimensions, but can't find them on the internet. I've heard, "Look through the catalogs at the parts house, " but the guys at the parts house aren't the best, and I can spend much more time sitting at the computer than at a busy parts house after 5PM. I need one 16" high, 18" wide, preferably with the top hose on the driver's side, bottom hose on passenger side, but not a must. I've heard postal Jeep, Mustang, and Duster, but not sure on overall dimensions. Any help would be appreciated.
My brother works for Modine - they sold off the aftermarket division about a year and a half back - to Walker, I think. As a result - they're now outta this business.
#9165 (American Radiator Sales #) radiator has a core size of 15 3/16 high x 17 1/4. The top tank adds about 3" and the bottom tank about 1 1/2" to the overall height dimension. The inlets are 1 1/4" with top on driver and bottom on pass. Application is "Post Office Vehicle 1/4 ton (DJ5G), 1978-79 Audi engine" If this isn't small enough I could look for a smaller one. I've used numbers from this catalog to order radiators from supply houses. The numbers appear to be universal for the industry.
I'll keep looking. The catalog is not easy to use as it lists core size and then you have to add the tank dimensions. I'll let you know what I find.
How about #644? 14" High with tanks x 18" wide. There are side mount flanges which could be trimmed to hold the width to 18" Inlet is 1 3/8" and outlet 1 9/16" in the correct positions. It is a two row core and has trans cooler. Application is 1975-77 Bronco with 122 ci engine.
Damn, neither O'Reilly nor Standard Auto can reference that #, I'll have to keep trying. Thanks again.
The same radiator fits Courier (Ford) trucks 73-77 1.2 & 1.8 engines, 75-79 with 2.0 & 1.8 engines and 1981 with 2.0. Autozone shows a "Transpro #433644" radiator and an "SPI #644" radiator for the Courier application. I suspect my catalog is incorrect listing the Bronco with this radiator as is shows two 4 cyl engines but no 8 cyl. The Courier seems to be the correct application.
Hey guys, trying to find info on an old Modine radiator part number..it’s either M-148 or M-48..as I remember I think it said it fit 77 Buick wagon or skylark.. probably fit other gm those years ..thanks for any info.
