I need to either recore my radiator or get one in a Pic-A-Part, what models might interchange with my 86 Brat 4x4 4 speed no air? I live in the desert, so one with more rows might be of benifit.

Not sure what would be an upgrade interchangible, but heres what I do know.

81-89 Hatchbacks

81-87 Brats

80-84 Wagons

All of those should fit in like it was made for it. I think*

I would suggest just spending the $100 and get a new one. Your just as likely to get junk from a junk yard and recoring these is a more or less a waste of money. There are some parts that souldn't be scrimped on and the radiator is one (especially in the desert). Later, Tim

if you have the money, radiator barn all the way:headbang:i got one for my 83 brat, dual core. shipping is fast as well

All EA81 radiators are dual core. I would definitely recommend getting a brand new one especially since you live in the desert.

 

As for what models fit, any EA81 bodied car.
