Engine Swaps
Dropping a different engine into a vehicle often means the original radiator will not fit. We build radiators sized and configured for your specific swap, with correct inlet/outlet positions.
Custom Radiator Calgary
Sometimes you need a radiator that does not exist. Engine swaps, custom builds, obsolete equipment, and performance applications often require cooling solutions that cannot be purchased off the shelf. Whether you need an industrial radiator in Calgary or a specialized cooling system for a unique application, City Wide Radiator provides custom radiator fabrication, building radiators designed specifically for your needs.
