Flex-A-Lite 315861 Extruded Core Radiator and Electric Fan 1973-1986 Jeep CJ LS Engine Flex-A-Lite® Extruded Core Technology is the future of performance aluminum radiators, replacing multi-core radiators with a new advanced design. Flex-A-Lite® Extruded Core Radiators provide significantly better cooling with a stronger, more durable and lighter design.
This direct-fit radiator is engineered to bolt into a 1973-1986 Jeep CJ with an LS engine swap. No cutting or drilling is required for installation, and the radiator will mount using the factory location and equipment. A fully-shrouded Black Magic S-Blade electric fan comes mounted to the radiator. The fan moves 3,000 cfm of airflow and includes an Adjustable Thermostatic Controller, making this a complete unit, ready to install. Radiator includes 22-24 lbs. cap and drain petcock.
Key features and benefits of the Flex-A-Lite® Extruded Tube Core Radiators include:
- Increased contact area between the coolant and aluminum tubes for better heat rejection and cooling
- A flat surface on which to braze the cooling fins, maximizing the contact between the tubes and fins for increased heat rejection and better cooling
- The cooling fins have been designed with louver patterns cut into them to direct airflow, improving heat rejection and cooling
- Wind-tunnel testing has shown that this Extruded Tube Core technology is significantly more efficient for cooling than standard tube radiators
- The Flex-A-Lite® Extruded Tube Core Radiators are significantly stronger and have a 100-psi burst rating
- The Flex-A-Lite® Extruded Tube Core Radiators include a corner subhead, reinforcing the cooling tube to header connection, an area prone to cracking and leaking in other brands of aluminum radiators
- Covered by an exclusive Flex-A-Lite® transferable 2-year warranty
