1930-1931 Ford "Active Driver" 10FPI Radiator

This radiator is intended as a drop in replacement for the 1930 and 1931 Ford car or car based pick-up truck and set-up for the OE engine in its production year.  It has what has been called a "high efficiency" radiator or "modern" core design but we add even more copper.  From 6FPI to 10FPI equates to an 66.6% increase in copper fin. The highly elliptical tube shape provides equal volumetric throughput but increases tube surface area by 293% thus requiring fewer tubes and still achieving better heat exchange. Other features include a deep drawn tank with an OE stamp pattern, electric wire tabs, galvanized steel sidewalls, and riveted brackets for a longer life. 

If you have modified or altered your vehicle in anyway, please order from the bespoke radiator section.  If you wish to restore your OE radiator using your OE tanks, brackets and/or castings please visit the restoration section of our website to begin the process.

• Copper core design with 10 fins per inch
• Embossed louvers between tubes to disrupt air flow & facilitate heat exchange
• 3/4" seamless weld tubes in a staggered array to disrupt airflow laterally
• Brass top tanks with correct production year die stampings
• Galvanized steel sidewalls to resist rust
• Brackets riveted to the sidewall
• Sidewalls available with relief like OE (upon request) 
• Stay rod bracket for support rods to firewall
• Baffle in top tank to prevent coolant loss
• Correct angle on lower outlet 
• Electric wire tabs soldered to lower tank
• Painted flat black to aid in heat exchange

Made in the USA (and made with 99.99% North American sourced materials!)

Use of aftermarket stay rods (often in chrome or stainless) will cause your radiator to tilt forward and result in hood-to-shell separation.
