Radiator Question

[scherpich]

Gents,

I am finishing up the complete rewiring of my 67, and decided I might want to get a new radiator to help battle the california sun. However, I am having some doubts about what size I need. I have checking into OReilly's and Champion radiators and whatnot, and their core size is roughly 17 by 281/4. That's the same size as my current radiator, but my current radiator looks too small. Do I have a BB radiator mount? My engine is from an 82 camaro, so I know it's not stock.

Looks like you already have wall to wall radiator. I'm assuming your upper retainers are in the outer set of holes ? Looks pretty thick too, like a 4 pass radiator.

Assuming its in good condition, you should have enough radiator to cool the kitchens of hell.

If you're having heating problems, chase down a shroud before you throw money at a radiator. A good shroud is instrumental to keeping your cool.

hay your too close to me there is a good Radiator shop in San Bernardino where Rout 66 is held He charged me 80.00 for a Rod out and clean all the small leaks trust me he's good in less then 2 hours it can be done i will try and get a phone number he's off of 3rd street and Waterman in San Bernardino CA save your self 350.00 to 400.00 and a 4 core is the way to go in Calif and where you are you need all the cooling you can get.In the winter time when we have it take a peace of cardboard and cover half your radiator so you can get some temperature for your heater core in the winter

So is there an easy way to tell what type of radiator I have (3 or 4 core?)

I am currently running a large single electric fan (3000 cfm) but no shroud, any good recommendations for those? I am eyeballing the dual 14" setup from Champion radiators.

Also, here's a few pics of my re-wired motor.

That's a 4 core radiator. If you have overheating problems it either clogged up or you have air flow issues.
