I know alot of you guys out there have 50's chevys, what did you use for a radiator other than stock? I don't have one for my 51, am going to run a mild 327. The price of the alum. radiators are way out of the budget. Any info would really help. Thanks.
Take overall measurements on your old one and go to a radiator shop. They have a library on radiators their capacities and over all dimensions. I ran a 350 in my 50 Pickup with a toyota radiator. Heck of alot cheaper than any aftermarket one.
I used this one, $340. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JEEP...ewItemQQcategoryZ33602QQitemZ7992352465QQrdZ1 I had to modify the brackets a little, but the size was just right. I am using a long water pump, so it is mounted in front of the radiator support.
