Technical Description of the CSF 3713 Radiator

This radiator features a 1 1/4 inch thick aluminum core measuring 14 1/2 inches wide and 25 11/16 inches long, providing a solid surface area for heat exchange. The plastic tanks reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. The cross flow design allows coolant to move horizontally through the core, enhancing cooling efficiency.
