Welcome to the PF.

What are your thoughts on this? What kinds of things are important in the design of a car radiator? Is this for schoolwork?
 
Bump to an old topic. I've been interested in building a radiator for my race car. It sports a 4 stroke 1000cc motor, water cooled.

Space doesn't allow much for radiators and getting aluminum radiators to fit the hole cost a lot from top name companys.

I have been searching for cores etc? So i can weld on my own tank ends etc but I have had no luck.

Does anyone have information on DIY radiator kits (aluminum) or where to find the aluminum cores etc

Chris,
