School me on radiators

[IZwack]

I'm looking for a radiator that has the inlet/outlet on the same side -- unlike the Chevy and ford radiators with opposing inlet/outlet ports.

Is it true that this design only exists in some Dodge vehicles (like the Dart) or did other make/model come with similar design?

Example:

I'm pretty sure I've seen that design in some semi's...but I don't recall what types.:scratch:

I might just be confused though. It would be too big anyway. What do you need one for?

I suspect its for his front suspension configuration, since it will require removal of the factory radiator because of it's interference with the jungle gym he intends to install.

They are a bit offset, but to one side.

Well that might be a little big ... might as well use the radiator as the chassis at that point :. Slightly smaller than the stock Explorer size (~20" x ~23" for the 98+) would even work since the extra piping will probably more than make up for the lost volume.
And yeah MountaineerGree[n] is correctooo.

Thanks for the links Mbrooks420 -- that Impala/Biscayne looks like it'll work great

I run one of those in my Jeep. Awesome radiator. It is a double pass radiator is why the hoses are on 1 side. It has a baffle in the hose side tank so it forces the water to go through the radiator 2x for more efficient cooling. I got mine new from ebay. It is an Afco n-series aluminum double pass radiator and I really like it.

Those ebay links above are probably not a double pass since they are stock-ish radiators.

Thanks Brian1 -- found this AFCo on Summit, not bad. Some on Ebay for a few less dollars too:
