Tri-Flow Radiators reduce water temps up to 24°F, eliminating overheating issues. Independent lab tests on Chevy LS engines and small blocks resulted in a 24°F temperature drop, which far outperformed OE and typical aftermarket aluminum radiators. The Tri-Flow is the best performing, highest heat transfer and most feature-packed unit on the market.
It works better than the others because coolant passes the radiator three times! Twice the circulation and flow, two additional passes in front of the fan and twice the efficiency over the competition.
Available for Chevy, Ford and Chrysler in three sizes - which should fit most vehicles from a street rod to a pickup truck. All you need to do is measure your current radiator, or if you haven't put one in your car yet, visit Eastwood.com for instructions.

Wish you guys would do a real world summertime 100+ degree day in stop and go traffic..
Rad-e-etter.
You went from raid to rad. Eat some rads he said. RAD-EE-AYY-TOR!
Purchased the Tri Flow Chevy 19" x 28" from Eastwood. Also purchased the aluminum fan shroud. Received it & installed it. After a short drive. I found it had a pin hole in it & it was leaking. Called Eastwood only to find out that because I trimmed the mounting tabs to fit my rad support, I Voided The Warranty. Just a side note Eastwood. Not all rad supports are flat. !!!!!!!! $ 100.00 later rad shop fixed the hole. I reinstalled it. Road test. It did not lower temps AT ALL !!! Very Disappointed in the product. Complete waste of $ 500.00
I know that it's nitpicking, but the pronunciation of "radiator" with a short "A" was driving me nuts.
nah its rad-e-ator
@@_JoeMomma Right, like it's rad-e-oh and rad-e-ation, you donut

You guys forgot to mention how to wire the electrical fan very important
Good point indeed Louis!
You forgot to mention or show how to convert the 1 and 3/4 pipe on the radiator to the 2 inch standard hose size.
You also didn't mention that there are other potential causes for overheating than just the radiator. For instance the thermostat can be malfunctioning or inefficient for that engine. All thermostats are not created equal. Another potential problem is the water pump. Is it failing? Is the pulley on it the wrong size? Did someone replace it with a pump of the wrong flow direction? I have seen impellers fall off. I have seen impellers with big holes in them. I have even seen some pumps just so cheap the impeller was too small. Some engines actually have an HO version of their water pumps.
On the eastwood website in the comments I see many people claim this radiator didn't help their overheating problem. I think they have not evaluated their overheating problem properly and this is not fair to Eastwood. However having the pipes on the radiator a non-standard size is something Eastwood should fix.
Good idea. I've been down this road. A simple test is if it cools properly at cruising, but immediately heats up at standing is not enough air flow. The radiator works in this case, the stuff around it doesn't. The fan in my case was almost 4 inches away from the radiator, and the shroud did not fit at all, with the fan too deep inside, and spaces between fan, shroud and radiator completely off. A simple electric fan in front of the rad. is enough to fix. Or if you want to go through the work, a custom fit shroud, and extra long fan mount. The extra long fan mount of course is way out of what is acceptable at about 6 inch in my case.
didn't have a step drill eastwood?
you buy one at home depot for $15 lol the right tools will always make the job easier
No doubt he is Canadian....I don't have a radeator (small A) I have a radiator (long A). Just an obsevation.......
Maybe that is the difference that causes them to put 1-3/4 inlets and outlets on these radiators.
