[DeTomaso] radiator deal

[Ken Green]

Mike,
 
    The description says they are made by Superior Radiator in the US:
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Aluminum-RADIATOR-71-96-Tomaso-Pantera-/150568290218
 
   But their claim of cooling 900 HP bothers me.  It might cool such an engine under a low load, but Dennis (Mad Dawg) couldn't keep his temp down with the Fluidyne making less HP, and I think the Fluidyne is 3 rows of one inch tubes.  If the seller said it was good for 400HP, I'd trust them more.  
 
    Has anyone heard of Superior Radiator:

I called them and they said there are the seller on ebay.
 
Ken

Is it a Fluidyne, of some off-beat Chinese brand?  I'd strongly advise that
you take it your radiator shop and have them pressure test it first.  There
was a lot of discussion on the forum a while back about leaking aluminum
radiators, and once they start, they are very difficult if impossible to
fix.

I'll be interested to see if anyone on the forum has any experience with
these units.

Mike

Here is something from one of our members (PNW is having an engine pull on
3/5, so that's what he's referring to concerning checking out the radiator):


Do you know of any members that might be interested in purchasing a aluminum
radiator for there Pantera? Someone on eBay is selling them for 480.00 with
a buy it now or best offer. If someone offers 375.00 this guy on eBay will
accept it and shipping is free. I thought it would be good to pass this info
on to our membership. I ordered one and its on its way.It should arrive by
the time we have our engine pull and we could check it out to see if its a
quality piece.
