The forward air flow cooling used on the 88 series didn't work out as well as IH had hoped but it was still works good as long as you keep the area around the radiator cleaned out. There is a small access panel on the left side just behind the radiator you can take off with 4 bolts after removing the side panel to keep it clean. The radiator may not be cheap to recore but any of those big radiator's are expensive to recore. For the engine kit if you have a Navistar truck dealership close you can get their DT-466 overhaul kit cheaper and CIH just gets their kits from Navistar and puts their name on the box. We just put a CIH reman engine in our 5488 for $4,000, a JD 466 reman engine is over $7,000 so yes the IH engines are cheap to work on. Most other companies went to metric long before IH did.
