Details

These 1917-1923 T-Bucket radiators are built to work without a grille shell and look good doing it! Speedway T-bucket radiators do not use a conventional "pressure" radiator cap, rather they use the decorative "T" caps to seal the neck at the top of the radiator. A hidden pop-off valve (910-15805 sold separately) is used for pressure control. Gasket # 911-12222 is very helpful for sealing the decorative "T" caps.

Features Chevy position outlets, auto transmission cooler. These accept "T" radiator caps and accessories, but are not included.

The upper neck is left of center about 6".
4" upper tank thickness, 3" strap thicknes that encases the core, 2.25" core
Uses 2 each 1" wide core tube
Choose from buffed or polished

T aluminum radiator

very nice well made does a good job and the price is great i used it on a tbucket a friend and i scratch built a few years ago i think you need to use this radiator in the manual instead of the one you do use

Poorly engineered.

Unfortunately the radiator cap leaks. I tried using the Speedway O rings (attempted using 1 then 2 then 3) but rad fluid squirts up through the cap threading. Found several others online who have had the same issue with this product. Even with gasket maker and an O ring rad fluid seeps out. For the price and cost of delivery I expected a better product.

This radiator is to replace an identical one. I was expecting the same quality as the one I had. I also paid extra for the Polished model.. The aluminum welding is VERY poorly done. Almost embarrassing....The polishing job is atrocious..

Radiator was fine and all connections etc appeared to be welded properly but the polished finish was very poor. I spent another 4 hours with a bench type buffing wheel to get a truely polished finish.

But I am not so sure on the radiator relief valve , it seems the radiators top tank keeps blowing off coolant leaving the top tank empty. Don't know what the problem is or the design but I am have a issue. I am going to add a radiator filler neck and cap and close off the relief valve with a recovery tank.

Looks good and fits in the fiberglass shell nicely. The biggest problem I didn't see at first was the mounting tabs are not the same on each side. One was wider than the other. I don't believe it is for a reason but be aware when centering it up on a project.

I plan to run an electric cooling fan on a street strip 23T. On high horsepower engines in hot temp have you had any complaints about cooling such as 500HP or 400 SBC engines? My other question is how do you stop from over-tightening the cap?
