Radiators???

Post by mudweiser »

Just curious if a radiator made for a 91-01 cherokee would mount up on the front clip of my 87 cherokee?
Im in the process of building a 4.6 stroker and would like to upgrade the cooling system from the garbage closed cooling
System that came stock on the 87's

I dont mind bending new hose if i have too, I just want to make sure the radiator will mount up before i drop some coin on a decent one

Thanks!!'

Depending on who you talk to about open vs closed you will get a different answer. The closed system is great, but aftermarket bottles \ caps are what kill you.

Regardless, you can use a 91+ no problem.. just have to make sure you setup the over flow and hoses etc.
If it feels right, then STROKE it!

Renix standard bottle with a 703-1396 cap from Napa works great FWIW.
