AC Cobra Radiators
AC Cobra Radiator kit
Angling a radiator 20 degrees, placing it 10" from the nose and putting a transmission cooler 5" in front of the core is no way to cool a Cobra's engine. A pulley company sent a frustrated customer to us for a solution after his aluminum one could not do the job.
This solution includes 3-1/2" copper radiator, 2 SPAL fans, two hose-installed temperature sensors (for managed amp draw and reduce fan noise), wiring harness, two relays and draincock. Indicate engine when ordering and provide the name of the kit eg. Shell Valley, Factory Five etc.
We are often asked by prospective customers to “just re-core my radiator.” We do not just re-core a radiator, rod out cores or hot tank a radiator in caustic chemicals. These may be time saving techniques but they can damage, weaken or shorten the life of your radiator. Furthermore, these terms suggest quick and easy fixes to fundamental problems, weak brittle metal, clogged tubes or compromised joints or seams. Shortcuts invite problems and we don't want problems. Instead we offer a thorough restoration service. Read more about the process
We make to order. Please allow adequate time for us to build.
Build time estimates [Feb 2025]
Brass/Black Model Ts
Our longstanding foundry (supplier) closed and all production was shifted to a neighboring foundry. Apparently many of the closed foundry's workers were ineligible for rehire by the new foundry due to more aggressive immigration enforcement and the union has no employees to provide. As of 2-20-25, we should receive castings in March 2025 and can resume production then.
In the interim, we have been working with our one-off foundry to have pattern boxes made and these are trickling in in smaller batches and we will produce what we can.
Model As 5-6 weeks
Heater cores ~6 weeks
Model A and 32 Ford Street rods 6 weeks
Common street rods ~12-15 weeks
Tricky customs & complicated restorations ~16 weeks months
We appreciate your patience as we continue to recruit and train new fabricators and manage the labor shortfall our country has been experiencing.
