Jon89le Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Being that my dads radiator just cracked on his Z which has less miles than my GP, it started thinking about mine. I was thinking about an Aluminum one from like Jegs or Summit. Just one from their brand. Not about to spend $300 on like a BeCool one on a car that did fine with a stocker. Only think im trying to find is one with an angled neck like the way it is on my 3.1. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCRagtopguy Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Buy one on-line. Best deal that you will get by far. I paid just over a hundred bucks for one for my wife's Lumina last year. Just search for radiators and check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon89le Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Are you refering to a stock replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon89le Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Oh yea, i know i can find them cheap. I was just looking towards metal ones as another option. Aluminum would relieve more heat and not crack like OE imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCRagtopguy Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Usually it's not the metal fins and such that crack. It's the el cheapo plastic saddle tanks that surround them. Good luck, at least they are easy to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I had a tank replace on a rad. in a GA. It was $85 and they chem. cleaned it, and pressure tested it while it was apart. Saved the girl who owned the car about $300 (W/ labor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the side tanks. The Aluminum ones are metal, not plastic are they not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14421 They have many size available, basically same as Jegs or summit, commonly 19" tall, w/ varying widths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
