Found an OEM 88 vette rad from a local parts house. $107.00 plus tax. Two tubes standard size, 23 5/8 - 15 1/4 - 1 1/2.



Anyone gone this route? I\'ll be placing the rad in the area wirer the a/c condenser was.

The gut might not have known what he was saying. It\'s a GNO brand rad.

My radiator book here at work says an 88

\'Vette radiator is only one row.



It\'ll fit though without any problems.

You shouldn\'t have to move it forward

into the support.

How did the 88 vet rad work? I intend to move the rad into the a/c coil space also, but can\'t find one that will fit. The dimensions that you quoted will definitely fit. Do you know the brand of the rad or the name of the shop where you obtained it?

a one row rad is fine aslong as it has a dense cooling fin pack that can transfer heat effiecently enough there usualy fine upto 350 CID

with my 77 vette and the large 3 tube rad it works very well even though the nose has a very limited opening to allow air into the radiator. my s10 has a lot more square inches in the grill opening. hoping this increased area will supply adequate air.
