do not let the price point scare you off.. i am running a ls 5.3 in my 85 cj7 this is more than enough to keep it cool. it runs cooler than the old 4 core copper top. it is a true direct mound plug and play.

Same as Nicole H.'s comment, it doesn't fit an '86 CJ7, 4.2 with the fan clutch. It also won't allow for the use of the factory shroud. Nice looking unit but not a direct fit.

Pro: Good looking radiator and the welds look nice. Cons: It doesn’t fit with the proper clearance between fan clutch and the radiator in my 84 CJ-7. The Northern Radiator has flat brackets instead of the recessed brackets that the stock radiator has which, reduces the clearance between the fan clutch and the radiator.
Also your stock fan shroud (In the 84-86 CJ-7)will not work with this radiator because the top tabs are higher than the radiator itself and because the upper radiator hose inlet is farther to the passenger side than the stock radiator.
