New Radiator Question ('06 Corvette Radiator)

[KyleSeal]

Just got a new radiator in trade for an '06 Vette (we believe), made by Be Cool.

It's aluminum and really light weight compared to the stock '70 I have.

My question is - will it fit? Will it work? Has anyone does this before (and if so, any pics?)

Not bloody likely. But when you're done, it'd be great if you put together a post for the next guy!

You should check to make sure it's not reverse flow. Not sure if it would matter if you used one backwards, it might not even make a difference. But check.

I would recommend using the electric fan and shroud package if you got it. If not, you WILL need a shroud. You might have to make or adapt one, but it will never cool properly if you just hope that your mechanical fan pulls air from its general direction.

Otherwise, given the base Vette produced 430hp, it should have plenty of cooling capacity for our little 190hp motors. Or even my 245hp big block :-)
