They were sized to fit well near the foglight openings if I remember correctly, so they might be a bit small to use as a main radiator.

I found http://wayback.archive.org/web/20050...CCHE_mods.html using a '77 Suburban heater core, but it doesn't seem to have the fans included. It actually looks like it's a decent size, compared to the front end of an S-truck.


The VFR800 has dual radiators mounted along the side, with the fairing ducting air in from the front-center and out-back through the radiators.

(Recognize that tail?)

I know the VFR is very different, but maybe it could work to set up two smaller radiators (like heater cores) more toward the side like that. I have very little actual experience in this department, I'm just tossing out options that might trigger someone who knows something to figure out some great idea...
Thanks for the info. I sat in the radiator warehouse for hours one night going through their heater cores trying to find one that would fit. Found many candidates but opted for this radiator I found at a swap meet, now if I can figure out what it fits I'll order a new one.
