 Topic: 74 Hornet Radiator SwapPosted: Jul/23/2018 at 4:16pm |

My 74 Hornet Sportabout with 258 6 cyl. 72,000 miles all original survivor car. Will a radiator for a Grand Wagoneer fit in a Hornet? The Hornet has a small radiator with big side panels, reducing the amount of cooling surface space. I used to own a 88 Waggy and that radiator goes all the way across, no block off panels. Just eyeballing it, it sure looks like I could make this swap.
Has anyone tried it or know if this will work or not, please let me know. Thanks

Probably can. I have a write-up on sticking a 74 Jeep pickup radiator in my 63 Classic.

hi, a brand new radiator is still available, why go through all those changes if you don't have to? PN 8010403, from Rock Auto, or any parts store, about $220. good luck, gz

In my case I just happened to have a good three core FSJ radiator on hand, and needed a higher capacity radiator to run AC.
