Anyone tried an Ozcool Radiator?

[DeepC73]

I am looking to buy a new radiator to replace my original for my 1973 w/302. I’m planning on replacing it with a 4-core. While researching options online an Amazon option popped up for $219. It called an Ozcool by Ian parts. It’s all aluminum, 4-core. Has anyone tried it, or even heard about it? Any information is greatly appreciated.

Got a link to it? How thick is it?
Most aluminum radiators are much thicker than their copper counterparts.
So make sure that’s part of your inquiry.

Typical high-performance aluminum radiators only have two cores. We don’t count the cores the same way we used to.
Well, we still count them the same way. We just don’t specify them the same way for cooling purposes.

Otherwise, sorry. I don’t have information on that particular company or radiator style.

DirtDonk,
Here is the link for the Ozcool. I’m trying to decide between this and the MaxCore Stealth.

My bronco is a 302 with a small stage 3 cam. It stays on the pavement. I just want something to keep it cool. Lately it has been heating up a bit, but not too bad. However, the coolant is starting to get sediment and browned.

amazon: first thing i look at is number of ratings.

anything less than 3 digits is not a good sign.

This has one rating. One. Looking at their store, most other ratings they have for other radiators is 4 out of 5. Thats not really good for something you want to install and fogetabout. n Admitadly, most bad ratings are for the bad fans they supply, but a few are leaks. One guy had a crack and leak, and still gave 5 stars,

It looks like a typical Chinese radiator. If you’re looking for something that will cool great and fit exactly like stock, go with the copper staggered 4-row triple pass radiator that Wild Horses sells. I ran one for several years and never had issues with it. If you’re set on aluminum, Tom’s sells a nice 3-row. Also make sure that you have a good fan and shroud.
