so my radiator cracked under the filler and starts spewing coolant out. so i need a radiator and i want a better one since im getting a new engine. i was just curious to why these summit aliminum radiators are so cheap? and will this it work on my car? and if anyone has one on there car?
thanks

They are made by Northern and I used 2 in other cars and they are very good. Kept my 499 with 600+hp cool even in 90 degree weather. I'm not sure how you'd mount one and you'd probally need to find hoses to work with them...

so i assume they are not the same as far as the inlet and outlet locations on my camaro. i wonder if summit sells the hoses for it? or anyone else

I have no idea... but the width and height of the inlet/outlet might throw it off. I'm sure you could make one work, but don't expect a perfect bolt in if you get the 160 dollar summit rad.

they said the universal radiator doesn't have brackets or a cap, the good radiators are up in the $5-600 range and a i was just curious as to if i will need a better radiator than stock once i put my 383 in? will a stock radiator cool a 383 ok?

mine tends to over heat with the A/C in my 383. Although weather is hot down here in the 95 -105 range. I my self am looking for a better radiator

Tney have no brackets, bue they have a lip on the top and bottom and thats what I used to install mine. You could bolt on some brackets and mount it somehow. They don't have a cap, but just a standard cap is all you need. They do not have a drain either... which kind of sucks, I just pulled then hose, but can make a mess!

i said fudge it and went ahead and bought a real aluminum racing radiator that is a direct fit with everything i need. i just didn't feel comfortable with anything less. i really appreciate your info gd1996, thanks.
