Radiator change
 

Was wanting to know what all had to be changed to go from a regular 3 core radiator. To the big thick tanked one.

here, I think this is what your looking for

Re: Radiator change
 

So it should fit on the core support with just changing of the mounts? And is there any problem with motor wanting to stay cold in the winter with one of those big ones?

Re: Radiator change
 

bolts right up, with those parts listed

just use stock thermostat range and its fine for heat

Re: Radiator change
 

Alright thanks. Just wanted to make sure the core support wasnt wider at the bottom or anything

Re: Radiator change
 

if you wind up going with a brand new aftermarket radiator you may need new upper mounts and a different shroud... i had this problem with an 82

Re: Radiator change
 

Im goin to get it out of a truck used. with all the stuff with it. Just was checkin before i got it out and it was too wide to set on my core support lol

Re: Radiator change
 

nah youlll be ok then

Re: Radiator change
 

Alright. thanks for the info

Re: Radiator change
 

picked up the radiator. out of a 79 model. didnt know the core supports were different on the top soo the bracket used for the top wont work on my 82. Anybody know if you can order some new brackets? the ones i had were for my 3 core and arent long enough to go over the tank.

Re: Radiator change
 

The radiator top plate is no longer sold seems. That number is no good on the one you listed.

Re: Radiator change
 

so im kinda screwed then huh. unless i search the salvage

Re: Radiator change
 

Actually it looks like they still have some NOS BB radiator supports here.

This would be a very good write-up if someone had all the current part numbers to do the swap. I need to do this one of these days...
