Need a rad for my Triumph, into which I'm dropping a BMW M52 engine.
Got a 22 inch wide, 13 high and 2 inches deep hole, anyone know of a rad, that'll fit and keep a 2.5L BMW cool?
Or know of a source of info on rad sizes, most breakers around my area, don't like people crawling around thier yards with tape measures!
Thanks

I saw your build thread, should be an excellent conversion. Wouldn't a 1.6/1.8 E36 radiator fit in that gap? The header tank might be a bit fatter than 2" but the rest of it is quite slimline. I guess as a bonus the shroud might be right for the engine too.

My problem (one of many, says the girlfiend!) is I doubt that I'll have room between the front panel and the engine, even if I take off the viscous drive.
So I think I'll have to mount in front of the panel, in the nose cone, which limits my choices! However I think you may be right, a E30 rad is the right size to fit in the nose cone, may have put a hole in the panel for the top hose!
Ideal solution is use the Triumph rad..........just dreaming.

a ford focus ztec is the same size as a bmw e34 rad not sure about e30 i fitted one to my 6pot bmw they have two very strong fans on as standard and the header tank isnt on the side making it easier to bleed
my e34 never overheated after fitting that and it was only £30 from a breakers
