No radiator

I would have given you everything but the hoses to swap to a late cooling system, that junks just taking up space

Does that mean you HAVE EVEYTHING? including radiator. Since you put it like that. I might as well change to late model cooling system. I'll just get the hoses off my buddy.

Call 503.659.7444 and ask for Zach. Tell him I sent you and he'll cut you a deal. Good luck.

Yo Ima do that right now. Thanks.

I kept seeing that my thread kept reaching the top. But I didn't know there was a second page Haha.

I'll take it Seth if you got it still, want to convert the race car to the late style for a little more reliability.

[I got it, yes!!]

damn just read above, also it doesn't matter if its for a manual or automatic if yours is a manual.

I bought one for a 528e. it fits, all holes and hoses line up, and is solid at the top(don't have to worry about setting things on it and bending fins). It was also cheaper

This will work in your car - I have one in my PRO3 as well (it's an '85 chassis.) There was another for cheaper, but it was still around $200. Just do a search for E28 or 528e radiator.

make sure it is in fact one to fit an early car. as of last summer, no one had one readily available. I ended up buying one of the $150 ebay specials and moving the connections as needed.

You could convert to an '88+ cooling system and use the eBay aluminum radiator, but that seems a little redundant.

You might try calling 1-800-Radiator or Discount Import Parts for a new unit for your '86. I know both can get one today, but I don't know your budget. Good luck.

I don't think it will work if it's still an Eta. You will have the early style cooling setup (where the return hose runs down by the Alternator and the overflow tank is on the Passenger fender..)

You'll need an early style, but it's the same as the 5 series M20 setups from the same vintage.

Yea I don't have the car in front of me but Yup everything is on opposite sides. But I did find some aluminum ones on eBay Ima probably just get on off there. Thanks man
