Anyone used a 944 radiator on an SBC V-8 conversion, I have one and was measuring it for size, it would fit well and has dual puller fans, plus temp sensors built in. You could also use the over flow tank! Just a thought! Not sure if it has the cooling capacity or not?

things to consider:
CID of donor car, CID of new motor HP of donor car, HP of new motor can you get the same airflow as from the donor vehicle? you need to find out if the 944 rad. was adequate in it's stock application..it seems a 951 would be better suited since it has to remove more heat than it's normally aspirated brother.....I bought a brand new 944 radiator at a swap meet for $40...didn't like it so I sold to a fellow member doing a Subaru conversion...still not sure if it'll work since his car is not running yet. the radiator is the one key part of the conversion people try to be "cheap" with....the cooling system will make or break a decent conversion |
