Re: What extra parts needed to install a 283/327 radiator in a 230 truck?

If you currently have the small I6 radiator that sits out from the radiator support and down on the lower step of the crossmember, you will have to change a few things. First you will need the wider saddles for the radiator you are going to purchase. These will bolt to the radiator crossmember on the top, flush with the top of the frame. You will need the correct top hold down for the width of the radiator core you buy. Next you will need to remove the shrouding between the radiator support and the I6 radiator and replace it with the pieces for the V8 style radiator.
