CJ Radiator And Shroud Questions - Jeep-CJ Forums

85 with a 258.

I have the jeep radiator that fits the recess in the support fully. by that I mean the fins and tank are flush to the mounting surface, and goes all the way to the front of the "notch' in the support.

I assumed this was a HD cooling radiator. I have seen other CJ's with the narrower radiator, in which there are less rows. The mounting bracket holes are around an inch forward of the tank and fins.

I ordered a HD cooling shroud, and it appears I got the "correct" one sent. This shroud won't work with my radiator.

This shroud is for the narrower core radiator. It has parts that go forward of the mounting surface on the rad support.

So do I have an HD radiator or is this the standard one?

I plan on using a 18 in plastic w/p mounted fan, so a shroud is fairly necessary. The 15 inch 4 blade was disappointing on the trails last summer, it couldn't pull enough air for the remote tranny cooler I have mounted in front of the radiator. I run a 727 tranny with a higher stall, so a remote cooler is necessary.

Would a narrower radiator be OK? what is it called? Are there more than two CJ capable radiators? I could only find some info on two.
