Want to upgrade to a BBC 4 core radiator, what is needed?
Looking to upgrade a 76 C10 to a BBC four core radiator. The truck currently has the stock 350 engine and stock radiator.
Will I need anything else besides the following parts?

And possibly nut serts for the top of the core support.
My 77 wasn't threaded on the topposite of the core support.

Re: Want to upgrade to a BBC 4 core radiator, what is needed?
You will get better cooling with a modern 2-core aluminum replacement. Instead of 4 small rows, they have 2 big rows. Air flows through them better and they have a better BTU rating. Even the cheap alum/plastic replacements from your local chain auto parts will work. I have one in my dually cooling my 454 and I have no issues keeping things cool while towing with the A/C on in Phoenix in August.

Spectra Cu730 radiator is a direct replacement for the 454. Works great
