Early Bronco 3-Core Tri-Pass Radiator w/ Trans Cooler | Ford 289 302 351W
Factory Look and Fitment meets Modern Performance Upgrades
Upgrade your cooling system with this 3-Core Tri-Pass Radiator for 1966–77 Ford Broncos with 289, 302, or 351W V8 engines. Designed as a high-efficiency replacement for the factory radiator, it fits directly into your stock 3-core mounts, maintaining the same fan clearance as the stock radiator. Constructed from copper and brass just like OEM, this radiator features our advanced Tri-Pass technology, which routes coolant three times through the core before returning to the engine—greatly improving heat dissipation and overall cooling performance. A built-in transmission cooler is included for automatic applications and can be left plugged for manual or remote cooler setups. Brass drain plug included.

Why opt for the WILD HORSES Tri-Pass Radiator System?
Experience a serious cooling upgrade with our Tri-Pass Radiator Cooling System—where performance meets smart engineering. Unlike traditional single-pass radiators that route coolant across the core just once, our Tri-Pass system forces coolant to travel across the radiator three separate times before returning to the engine. This extended path increases coolant-to-fin contact time, which results in significantly improved heat transfer and cooling efficiency. Whether you're running a mild V8 or a high-output build, crawling trails or cruising in summer heat, the Tri-Pass design keeps engine temps stable and performance consistent. Combined with durable copper/brass construction and an optional built-in trans cooler, it’s a must-have upgrade for any Bronco owner serious about long-term reliability and cooling power.
Tri-Pass Cooling Technology – Key Benefits
-
Enhanced Cooling Efficiency – Forces coolant to flow through the radiator three times for increased heat dissipation
-
Greater Coolant Contact – Extended path ensures more coolant surface area is exposed to cooling fins
-
Reduced Engine Temperatures – Keeps V8 engines running cooler under heavy loads, off-roading, or hot climates
-
Improved Performance Stability – Maintains consistent operating temperatures for better engine reliability
-
Ideal for Modified Broncos – Perfect for high-performance or upgraded engine builds that generate more heat
-
No Added Complexity – Delivers big gains in cooling with the same bolt-in ease as a stock replacement
