I found this seller while looking for a new oil dipstick tube. I decided to check out their other stuff and found these. I wanna do some looking around at prices but I might pick up a few things from them. Figured I'd ask about these coolers to decide if I wanted to add one of them to the list too.

Never used one, but I'd say the standard radiator-style cooler (either the stock or aftermarket) would work better and has more surface area.

Couldn't hurt to add that as a suppliment, but I wouldn't run it as a primary.

That's just me though.

 

After I posted this I looked at my sig pic and thought hmmm I could put it where the opening in the grill is and buy 2 so you would see one on each side lol

 

that doesn't look like the world's most efficient design. Awfully thick fins and you'd have to mount them small side forward for all the fins to get air.

If the inner tube is hollow, that's going to take a lot of fluid to fill as well.

 

if i were to use one of those i'd daisey chain a couple of them because they don't have much surface area to cool the fluid.

 

Just get a regular cooler.
Those are made for street rods that dont have much room up front for a regular cooler. They mount these in the frame rails.

 

i have a brand new b&m 70264 for sale if youre interested?

 

Those coolers actually work well for their size. You will see a lot of desert race trucks running these because A) they can be mounted to a roll bar high up in the airstream and away from danger, and B) they are less prone to damage from flying debris than a radiator-style cooler. They also provide for less pressure drop than a conventional cooler. They are popular with street rod and custom car/truck builders because they don't need to be mounted in the airflow to be effective. These are more like a true radiator than what we call one today, which is really more of a heat exchanger than a radiator.
