Novak's HD cross-flow radiator for 1987 - 2001 Jeep XJ's is made to be the most innovative on the Jeep aftermarket. Jeep engine swappers have the challenge of keeping more powerful engines cool within the confines of one of the smallest grill spaces in the automotive industry.
These radiators are fabricated in-house at Novak since 2012, where we have relentlessly pursued radiators which have:
- Maximum heat exchange with one 1-1/2" wide tubes in alloy aluminum
- Durability
- Unmatched features; each radiator assembly includes:
- Floating design on pads within the Jeeps framework
- Industry standard inline filler neck and radiator cap, for easy future replacement
- Standard drain fitting, accessible with a wrench
- Sacrificial anode (however, you should still ground your radiator to prevent corrosion!)
- Simple, barbed overflow fitting
- Bungs for temperature senders and steam ports
- Ideal fin density with louvers
- Furnace brazed headers and TIG welded final assembly
- Every radiator pressure tested, heat imaged and empirically scored for maxium heat exchange
Our radiators do not feature integrated transmission coolers, as we choose to focus the unit's entire cooling power on the engine. More on this, below.
For XJ and MJ models, the fan shroud is now permanently integrated into the radiator assembly. This means superior structural integrity, simplified installation, and optimized cooling. Radiators for these models must be purchased as complete fan-shroud-radiator assemblies, as the shroud is not available separately.
