cooling

[newsomemichael]

On my way to work a couple of days ago i hit a deer bent my radiator support and put my radiator in my fan,i run a flex fan.Does anyone know what i could get out of a junk yard that mit fit.The one i had i dont know what it was out of but it was a three core and kept my truck cool.Its a 85 s10 with a 65 327 mild cam,600 carb,350 trans.

Bring it to a rad shop see what they can hook u up with.

If you can, take measurments of whats left of the old one. Then either get out your Jegs or Summit and find out that will fit. This may be difficult because of the short height of the radiator we need for our trucks, but you can get GOOD alluminum rads. from them and cool just as good or better than the old copper/brass. They weigh less too.





The BECOOL is not really worth the money if you ask me....I have it and dont like it worth a shit. It doesnt hold enough water to do a good job cooling. You can definatly do better for your money.

Mid 80\'s Corvette is a good one to use. It is the correct size and keeps a vette cool.

I used a radiator out of a mid-80s vette. They look identical to the original radiators, just thicker and of course better cooling. If you search around on the net you can find them fairly cheap. I bought mine for only $116, and it cools great. Make sure you shop around because the phttp://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/smileJap.gif range is rather spread out.

Are the 80\'s vett rads. alluminum?



Just curious, cause i dont know much about the 80\'s vetts.

the stock 4.3 radiator works great,vette rad is ok both being 88-91 for sure i have heard of some people using 78-88 monte carlo,regal etc.rads.

I am using the rad and electric fans from an 89 IROC Camaro.

Take a bit of work to fit it in.

but cools good

I picked one up out of a mid 80\'s monte carlo going to give it a try thanks for all the help.

the montecarlo ss rad is a 3 core aluminum rad.. there supposed to fit? i\'m not too sure though... i run a stock s-10 4.3 rad and my engine is nowhere near stock anymore... with a 180 stat i run about 185 all day long
