1941 (late) Ford Radiator Reproduction split core (Model 11A)
1941 (late) split core w/ wire channel
This radiator is intended as a drop in replacement and set-up for the OE engine in its production year. The first images are restorations and the others are our fabricated drop in replacement. The late 1941 tank is taller, the top hose connections lower and core divider is a different construction than the 39-early '41. Split core and donut crank pass through radiator includes the electric wire channel.
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.
Made in the USA
In this period Ford manufactured radiators at Dearborn (D), and also at Green Island G) and had three additional suppliers, Modine (MO), McCord (MC), and Long (L). Ford furnished those outside suppliers with top and bottom tanks (11A) to be fitted with cores. 1940 and early (~January 1941) had the top fill on the angled portion of the tank. Later in 1941 the tank geometry changed and the filler cap was located in the top center. Please order accordingly.
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

We appreciate your patience as we continue to recruit and train new fabricators and manage the labor shortfall our country has been experiencing.
