Re: be cool radiator

Mine fit right in. I used the existing upper mounts and rubber without issue. I have their 1000hp unit, so I did have to make spacers to raise the uppers 1/2".

You didn't say which rad you are considering. I'll assume a 4 row. The factory bottom supports fit with some fettling but I trashed the upper supports in favor of a piece of polished stainless.

Re: be cool radiator

Pretty cool Fitz did you make that stainless piece or buy it somewhere to my understanding some guys run the one piece chrome one for a Chevelle but not sure what year I wouldn't mind finding out it would probably be easier then our radiator brackets the one I'm looking at is part number 134-62058 from jegs for an automatic says it's a direct fit doesn't clarify if it's a 4 core or not but my little 350 should be fine for the street

Re: be cool radiator

We actually have one of sparkys radiators in our C10R truck. Let me take some pics of it tommorow and get it up here. No offense to be cool we've used their radiators in the past...but they are big money. When you can get an equal if not better unit from Sparky for less $$. Just sayin.

The local steel yard had a piece of 16 Ga left over...5 bucks, half an hour with a hole saw and a dimple die and there it is! If you try that route, stainless is VERY hard. It will take a carbide tipped hole saw to cut it but a 10 ton shop press will do the trick for the dimple die.
