Best Radiator for M20 Conversion

[bavtech]

HI Everyone....

I am doing a M20 Conversion in my 1969 2002 and was wondering what it the best radiator to use with the conversion.

I have read 323i but those are not easy to come up with.

What is everyone else using in there M20 swap??

Thanks

We used a VW Scirocco radiator and Q/R mounts from JEG'S.

Volvo 240 fits, cooled a turbocharged 2.4 liter pulling a 4,000lb brick, so it should be adequate also.

pinto rad, early e21 copper (looks stock too), probably others. dont you just love wandering around junkyards!?

What are you guys using to mount the bottom of the radiator.

I picked up a brand new Behr Scirocco radiator for $45 thru my work. I see two stubs at the bottom. Should I use those or what is the best approach.

If you use the mounts from JEG'S, you just use the 2-holes on each side of the radiator.

here's what i did. i actually had to move them farther apart after this pic tho. cut a 1" length of box steel, drilled a hole straight thru, cut it in half diagonally, and used a large punch to make it concave so i could use the rubber donut spacer thingies too. took < an hour i think.
