Factory cores lack the tube volume and surface contact area required to handle modern driving demands, increased combustion temperatures, or towing loads, leading to rapid heat soak, boil-overs, and compromised engine longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from high-grade AA5052 aluminum, this 3-row performance downflow radiator significantly increases heat dissipation capacity over OEM specifications. Featuring 100% precision TIG-welded tanks with zero epoxy seams, it withstands high vibration and pressure spikes. The high-density louvered aluminum fin and multi-tube core configuration maximizes thermal transfer, while an integrated internal transmission fluid cooler maintains stable automatic transmission line pressures and operating temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1968-1979 Ford F-100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eWindsor 302 \/ 351 (5.0L \/ 5.8L) \/ 5th-6th Gen F-Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e130-210 hp \/ 240-300 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eWV55335-1 (Interchange: DPI 433, CU433, CC433, KKS433, SBR433, DRCC433, 433S)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1968-1979 Ford F-100 (5.0L \/ 302ci V8, 5.8L \/ 351ci V8) - Automatic or Manual Transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCore Dimensions: 18.90 in H x 25.91 in W x 1.73 in T\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverall Dimensions: 26.26 in H x 29.53 in W x 4.41 in T\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInlet: 1.75 in | Outlet: 2.00 in | Downflow Configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Heavy-Duty Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to handle grueling hauling, continuous idling, and high-ambient highway operation without thermal degradation, delivering reliable cooling performance built for classic Ford workhorse durability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50459224113400,"sku":"DS-E549P5XZK","price":192.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-ford-f-100-1968-1979-5-0l-5-8l-1.jpg?v=1788809057","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/performance-radiator-for-ford-f-100-1968-1979-5-0l-5-8l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
