1983 380 SL Radiator Question
Hi, I am new to the list:
Question: Could anyone tell me if if a radiator out of an 85-89 560 SL is any thicker/larger than the one used in an 83 380 SL? If so, will the 560 radiator fit without modification? I live in Florida where it's really hot. I was thinking that a 560 radiator might provide better cooling. My present radiator is in need of replacement. Thanks in advance George |

The radiator hose for the 560SL top comes out at the extreme right side of the radiator. The 380 comes out left of the middle if I recall. It also seems that the 380 has a oil cooler. other than those issues the chassis should accept either I would think.

Beachboy,
When your car was built, MB still built a fine car. I would just go with a new 380 radiator. If you think Florida is hot, you must remember that you are driving a world class car. That car was designed to be driven in Egypt, South Africa and places hotter than Florida. If it were me, I'd go with a stock radiator. Peter
