Description

The Oldsmobile 88, 1965-70 V8 Aluminum Radiator is meticulously engineered for form, fit, and high-performance cooling. Unlike radiators that piece together aluminum or use simple dimpled stock, this unit from U.S. Radiators features precisely die-stamped components in accordance with original equipment look and fit, ensuring maximum cooling and durability. This application-specific radiator boasts an all-aluminum construction with no epoxy, featuring a 2-row, 1-inch tube high-efficiency core design that offers comparable heat transfer to other 2-row aluminum radiators. Its components are die-stamped to eliminate weld-related failures and maintain a high standard of quality. The radiator provides original appearance and OE mounting for a seamless integration. Key specifications include a crossflow airflow type, 1-1/2" inlet size, and 1-3/4" outlet size, with bottom connection and 3-1/2" wide mounts. It also features a 12-1/2 x 1/4 NPT transmission cooler size and is available with or without a built-in transmission cooler. The radiator comes standard with a 2-row, 1" tube high-efficiency core, with an option for a High Efficiency with Tripleflow core for enhanced heat transfer. Core size is 18-1/4 x 28-1/4, and the unit weighs 40 lbs. It is compatible with factory AC systems (N/A, No, Yes). Important care instructions advise against using antifreeze with nitrates in aluminum units, as this will void the warranty; only 50/50 premix is recommended.
