Bigger Radiator

Post by indian301 »

Is there a larger radiator that will fit into a 1952 MM? I am running a 22R Toyota motor and before I order a custom one I thought I would try to get one that might be close.

The standard rad is huge - it should easily handle the cooling.

The Series MM rad has an extra large header tank for thermo syphon cooling so should cope with a toyota engine. There was a thread recently about a Series MM rad with extra capillary tubes.

I did not get the original MM radiator when I bought my car. The Toyota is a 2.4l. I will try to see what I can find.

Thanks, Dave

Modern cars have ultra efficient aluminium radiators - search the scrappy! A complete misnomer of course - they don't 'radiate' anything!
