I have a ‘53 3100 with a ‘56 235 car engine. I modified the factory radiator mounts to accommodate the 235 water pump. I believe the radiator to be original and it is getting to be sketchy. I have been looking for a new aluminum radiator. My issue is the new aluminum radiators available from Speedway and Summit have 1 1/2” inlets (upper) and 1 3/4” outlets (lower). Are there new aluminum radiators available with the factory 1 1/4” & 1 1/2” inlets/outlets, or will I have to hunt for new hoses to work with a new radiator?
Also, does anyone have any recommendations where to get a new aluminum radiator that would fit my needs, be quality built, and at a reasonable price?
Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you.
