New radiator needed, any suggestions
Hi, I need a new radiator for my 1987 350 Auto. Do you need any other info ?
Any suggestions of suppliers would be appreciated, will need them to be able to ship to Australia. Went to a local repairer here in Perth and he quoted me $750.00 to Recore it.

If looking for a direct fit summit has a brass unit . They also have some aluminum as well .
Dont know if summit ships over there or not or what the cost would be . If they still offer free shipping this would be a good option. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pl...olet/model/r10 . Measure yours to confirm fit . |

I have just had a look at ROCKAUTO and have seen the 'Spectra" brand radiators.
The core material is Aluminum with plastic tanks, are these a good option ? Has anyone used these in their trucks ?

Re: New radiator needed, any suggestions
I've never used one, but I sell/warranty the crap out of them....
I really dislike what has happened to quality parts in America (or anywhere else for that matter). Radiators were one of the first victims of the crap-wave of junk. The only good thing about them, is that they are so cheap, you can replace them 3-4 times before getting to what a quality radiator would cost... |

I bought a Champion all aluminum radiator for my 78 454 suburban. Great price and a really nice piece for being made in China. No plastic tanks to fail (which they will). I have had it a year and so far no problems, temp actually seems to be lower then with the original Harrison brass radiator.
