I bought a mustang (65 v8 w/ air) Rad from an aftermarket fender place for 120 bucks It's a walker 3 row, works good, but needs a shroud. Once you have a SBC, you won't go back! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I know what you mean about the aluminum jobbies, BUT, El Polacko told me about one he used that was from Summit, actaully, the Summit brand radiator. Aluminum, universal, for around $180. Check out their website.

Other than that, you could go to NAPA or somewhere and get a Modine with a lifetime warranty, I imagine you could fit most anything in THAT engine bay. Maybe a Full sized big block Chevy car from the Muscle car era?

[Deyomatic]

On that Summit radiator, you will need to make some kind of mounting brackets for it, but that shouldn't be TOO hard.

Good Luck.

Check the classifieds, Gotcha is selling a radiator from a 64 Chevy that had a 283...for $35 it might be worth a shot.

Well, if you're gonna put a Camaro engine in it...why not nab a Camaro radiator, too? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

They're cheap, easy as hell to find...and (dig this!) designed to cool a small block Chevy!

As a neat-o bonus, the hose outlets are even the right size and in the right locations! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Then all you'll need is some Moroso chrome valve covers, a cheap set of headers, one of those phoney 'bug catcher' Mr Gasket air cleaners, a Grant GT steering wheel, Tazmanian Devil seat covers, a chrome cassette player with a lighted Pyramid equalizer, some surface mount speakers and a set of bolt-on wheelie bars!

Ha Ha...okay, SOME of that equipment is optional, but 1967-81 Camaro radiators are narrow enough to fit most earlier cars well, they're a cross-flow design, and being Camaro parts....cheap as shit and just as easy to locate!

Get you one from a Ford Explorer. Larry put one in his 50 chevy truck works great. Let me know and I'll see if Ron has another one. I think I paid $75. for it.

[swazzie]

I bought a griffin crossflow for my dodge for a hundish dollars .CHRIST , it worked like I had just air conditioned my coolant. They are more than that new of course but if you look around .cheap insurance for the motor.seeya . swaZZie.

I'd get out a tape measure and check the radiators from some 70 up Chevy P/Us. They should be easy to mount to the core support and available new or used cheap.

[porknbeaner]

I got some 3" copper if you decide to stack it.
Was gonna make lakes pipes out of it but I think I got enough for both of us. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

You shoulda seen her trying to drive it last night. She almost twisted the key off in the ignition before I got her to stop.....I said "uhhh, the starter button is by your foot there."......Then she started hammering on the dimmer switch!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif "Uhhhhhhhh. no the other foot"....I said. She said she's gonna make herself a stick to reach down there and push the starter pedal.... Guess you had to be there!

This is what I would do too. It should be cheap from a salvage and some of those trucks with the towing packages had HUGE rads from the factory. Especially check out any suburbans or dually trucks in your local pick-ur-part.

Plus with a GM rad the inlet/outlet will be a closer fit (without having to cut and move) when you do go for the SBC.
