chevy radiator

[1992s13hatch]

Don't know if its already been found out but I found if any of you guys are Chevy fans like me and have a 68 or 69 camaro radiator laying around it works for a Sr swap

[blessedhellrider]

does it ? .what are the dimensions on that ..might be more cars other than camaro ....iv got all kinds of spare rads for 68-72 novas ,and vegas.

Novas work to they had the same radiator in that year but I don't know about the vega

[blessedhellrider]

yeah . vegas are smaller.

Ok thanks I just figured is post this just in case someone is like me tight on money trying to do a swap and have some chevy radiators laying around its better then spending 130 for a Sr aluminum radiator

[dawagarage]

what side(s) are the inlet & outlet, for reference.

[blessedhellrider]

im sure it bigger

[1992s13hatch]

Inlet is on the drivers side and outlet is on the passanger

[1992s13hatch]

And its not bigger my friend is using one in his with no mods needed

So are they better than an sr rad?

I'm sure the clutch fan shroud and stuff won't bolt on anymore.

[1992s13hatch]

There thicker

Here is the radiator I plan on using, tucked under the radiator core:
Griffin Thermal Products 2-25185-H - Griffin Aluminum Drag Race Radiators - Overview - SummitRacing.com (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GRI-2-25185-H/)
Griffin Thermal Products 2-55185-H - Griffin Aluminum Drag Race Radiators - Overview - SummitRacing.com (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GRI-2-55185-H/)

I will probably go with the 2.5" thick one.

I guess the only thing that I'm confused about is what is the main advantage over the typical koyo for these cars? Any worthwhile aluminum radiator is going to cost the same if not more than the Koyo that is designed for the car.

Not trying to be a hater, as I love seeing guys try other stuff...but unless you're finding one for free or at a part swap, I don't see any real advantage over the ones already pre made for our cars.

And FWIW: I track my car more than 97% of this forum, and I've never had an overheating issue with my koyo/altima fans combination in the 7 years of having it on the car.
