We got one for my dads 2.3 pinto powered sand car and it did ok. They are not that bad looking either. I would use one on my streetbike powered car. I paid almost $300 for a stock yamaha one and its smaller than those are.

That looks like it will work perfect, just bought one. Time to get busy building another buggy.

I bought one for my turbo car, didn't do well in cooling. I had alot of over heating issues. Not saying there bad but i just have to upgrade to a larger radiator. I'd see no issue in cooling a motorcycle or sled powered buggy. I actually plan on using the one out of my turbo car for my Rotax 583 Pilot build. But of course there all china made so reliability may be an issue.

Think this might work with my NA 600cc MC engine? I imagine a second one could be added to the loop if overheating is an issue. Lots of turboed cars use dual fans on a single large radiator, so I don't see a difference in using two smaller radiators with one fan each. Could be a little more stress on the water pump, but...cross that bridge when you get there. So has anyone had success with this radiator?

In short, yes this radiator will cool your 600cc motor....but as for the quality, durability, warranty, or customer service of the radiator who knows???

I got a jeep Cherokee radiator from a late 80's early 90's. The radiator is only 11" tall, and 36" (I think) wide. Gives you lots of cooling area if you can fit the radiator anywhere. We are planning on putting it down low, across behind the seats. It is wide enough we should be able to use ducting to pull air in from both sides. It also has a built in oil cooler.

That said, we are still building, so the radiators are not yet proved as effective. It should though as those radiators are capable of cooling a 6 cylinder properly!
