1951 200 Radiator/Fan question

Posted by Frankensled On 2015/7/7 13:52:19

Thanks for having me on the forum. I just picked up my first ever project car, a 1951 200 Deluxe. Original motor and trans, but rough around the edges. I will be replacing the inline 8 with a Chevy bb 454 that I picked up for pennies on the dollar.

In the mean time while I rebuild that 454, I would like to drive my 4 door tank around. Im having a issue with overheating and before I get to the water pump, I wanted to replace the radiator anyways. The original one has been punctured.

Is there any plug and play radiators that I could put in there from a different automobile? Im trying to keep this as cheap as possible.

Any recommendations for fans too? I was thinking just an electric assembly from a Astro van or something...

Thanks for the advice in advance!
