Would this radiator on ebay be big enough to keep an ecotec cool?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-00-HO ... ccessories

I dont know if this will help but they are running them on subi's and they work.

Thanks, I am picking up my donor car on Saturday, so I am wanting to get all the parts together for the conversion.

I would think that would work. I,m using the stock ecotec radiator from the car i got engine from. Its a single core and maybe 3/4 inch thick.

I have been running a Fierro radiator for years. The inlet and outlets are oriented correctly and it is very ample for my 3.3. They are an easy size to locate too. Just another one to consider.

i stay in the gas with that rad and have never had a temp issue! i did cut the center outta my thermostat and after hours of hard rideing my temp never got above 195 with my fan on but if the jeep rad is better id check the price and weigh my options suby steve also ran the same rad as i do

I run the jeep radiator on the s/c ecotec and have never had any problems. You can pick a used one up on eBay cheap I got 2 for like 20 bucks. But it is the one out of a 4.0 which is dual core.

Well went and picked up car. I got it in my shop raised hood and thought that motor does not look like the pics on here. Called work to run vin. It was a 2.4 2001 model. Called the girl I bought it from, and told her it was not the year she had advertised. Loaded it back on the trailer brought it back, and got my money. Back to looking for a donor.

sorry man that sucks i ordered my motor from a junkyard they said it was a 04 i got it and its a 05 and they changed alot of stuff from 04 to 05
