Radiator question
 
So I'm going to stick a 6.2 diesel into my range rover classic...

I am slowly coming to the conclusion that I will need to buy a custom aluminum 1" cored radiator. I only have 22"x20" of space. Thankfully I will have 6 inches or so of depth.

Here are my options, id like to hear what you guys think;

Aluminum radiator-$600

Stock radiator with high volume puller and two high volume pushers-free

Stock radiator with another stock radiator right behind it with puller and two pushers, a high output water pump-free

Stock radiator with another stock radiator mounted to the hood with hood louvers and two pusher fans sucking air through the hood a la , a puller and two pushers on the main radiator-free

The 600 dollar radiator is my fall back position...what do you guys think the best route would be? Dual radiator? Hood mounted? In line?

Have you tried looking for old Nova/Camaro radiators they are around the demensions you have and you can get them in 3 and 4 rows plus they are plumbed the wat a 6.2 is and are a common race car part I would check Summit or Jegs

Thank you good sir. I found a three row aluminum one on eBay for two hundred bucks. I'm going to measure my total engine space when I get home. Very glad you posted that!

Np back in the day I was all about a Nova:rocking:

Turns out that is some great advice, thanks.

The rover radiator is 17.5x32.5 overall it appears. The nova 4 core aluminum says it is 19x27

The rover has several inches of fan shroud above the radiator so fitting a couple more inches of radiator up there to match it shouldn't be a problem.
