Clipper55super	Radiator swap or universal fit recommendations	#1
Quite a regular Joined: 2017/7/28 12:50 Last Login : 2022/4/17 10:01 From Green Bay, WI Group: Registered Users Posts: 43	I have a '55 Clipper Super with a 320 and my radiator is shot. I checked a few places in the area and nobody is willing to recore this style. Has anyone had success with a swap or a universal fit? If so, what did you use? Thank you in advance for any insight.

Did your shops give a specific reason why they wouldn't recore? Posted on: 2018/3/15 19:41

"Some mods required" is an understatement IMO, but it will work and is larger than the original radiator. Craig Posted on: 2018/3/16 1:19
