it's 1 inch taller, but that should be no problem ;) one on the way for Olive :D

 

It looks like different sellers list the dimensions slightly different. But the 3 row compared to the 2 row, from the same seller (just-intercoolers), is actually 1.25" smaller because of a smaller 3 row core size... interesting.

i built a new lower saddle that holds the radiator in place.

 

 

 

Is it the exact same width as the OEM radiator(in a quest)? If it is it will be perfect for my Ramquest as I have plenty of room to go taller or thicker...........but cannot go any wider since I am running a SRT-4 intercooler that wraps around the radiator tightly.

I checked out the second link on here for the 3 row radiator and it seems that it will work so I ordered it. I scored a pair of Jag XKR cooling fans that are the same width as well that I plan on using.

Hopefully I will get my radiator from CX racing some day. I bought it on ebay using the "buy it now" on the 23rd of December and have yet to hear of it being shipped. CX emailed me a couple days after I paid for it saying that "the radiator is not in stock and it will be a week until we receive it to ship to you". It's kinda s**** that they can't bother to stock the item(s) which they list for sale at auction.

It came in today and looks good. I threw it in for a quick test fit and to get basic measurements so I can modify the Jag fan assy tomorrow at work.

I have this 3 row radiator that I-W bought. He ended up not ever installing it so I purchased it from him. Can somebody show me the bracket you people are making to mount the radiator just so I can get an idea what I need to do to make this work? Thanks!

Heres how i did mine. I went to the junk yard and got the rubber for the bottom.

I test fitted my 3 row in my car today, and it won't fit with the stock clutch fan. It rubs the bottom end tank by a little bit.

 

Those of you with clutch fans, you will have to convert to electric fans if you plan to make this work.

Here's some info on a better lower hose:

As I had issues finding a perfect lower hose, all my lower radiator hoses would rub the p/s pump

I wanted to say I found the perfect fit lower hose to use the ebay sr20 aluminum radiator

Its standard stock at your local advanceautoparts, part number "c71280" cost $12.99

Bends around ps pump and back over

No mods to radiator or water pump. Trimmed 1/4" off top of hose from where they run the plastic hanger

here is what i did for the uppers, yes that is a plastic push pin, and it works just great. drilled a hole and put a piece of hose for a rubber insert.
