What do you do with a leftover radiator?

May sound like a dumb question, but what should I do with it?

Don't want to scrap it if it is useable. As hard as some maverick parts are to come by.

Should I hold on to it for sale to another mav owner, or are they easy enough to come by that I should sell it for scrap?

If scrap, how much should I expect for it?

 

You'll get more money if you wait for someone who needs it shows up, but if you want to get rid of it now.. you'll get less money for scrap.

 

Put it up for sale on here and see if anybody wants it.

Maverick radiators are not hard to find, and can still be bought brand new. I got about $2 out of a Honda radiator I scrapped, an it was bigger then most Maverick radiators.

 

If it has the "FoMoCo" top tank, I'm sure someone will take it, and have it re-built for a restoration, they are starting to get harder to find.

 

yeah put it for sale on here someone will surely buy it, i just sold an extra radiator on here.....

 

Problem is...I typically don't SELL things. I just give them away...plus shipping.

I always knew I could not be a salesman...

I guess what I am saying is...anyone want a radiator?

It has been soaked in muriatic acid to get rid of most of the calcium buildup, and works well for a stock motor

 

I will gladly take the radiator, mine leaks in multiple areas and i have just been lazy and been refilling it with water. Will it fit into a 6 cylinder car? Let me know what you want to do!!

 

Yes. The radiator in my '72 (250/C4 drivetrain) is a three core that was previously in Dan Hines' '71 Grabber (302/4 speed). It works great, almost to much cooling for the six.

 

It is here for the taking. Not sure how bad shipping will be

PM me.

Moderators may need to move this to Items for Sale, even though I am giving it away (plus shipping and packaging costs).

 

scott i will take it if nobody else wants it.

 

Wanna trade it for that header...?

I will call you this morning.

 

Fan2488 has agreed to trade the radiator for the headers. So the radiator is no longer up for "grabs".

 

scott what are you getting ready for 6208s? or just goin to try spacers on 6901s?

 

Just spacers on my 6901s. Trying to get a little more clearance on my driver side spark plugs (gt40p heads with headers are cooking my #6&7 plug boots). I will feel better knowing I have head-gasket-spacer-gasket-header rather than head-gasket-gasket-gasket-header. Less chance of leaking.

Eddie, thanks for posting my pic on your website, and using my description of "more colors than a comic book"

 

yeah you like that i seen that on your siganture, just thought it was appotiate

yeah i seen pics of how close the plugs are to the header , you should be alright...do you have that much room in there w/ the 6901s?

sorry im not use to having room w/ my 351w:evilsmile


also like how you have added up everything you have done to your car, very cool
