just wondering what radiator and radiator hoses work well with a 71 gm a body
i was just going to get a summit 2 row aluminum radiator if that works well but looking for other options especially if they are cheaper (think the summit unit is around 140 bucks) also how do you guy handle the steam port line ?

Check the link to my 72 Malibu for my swap using my stock radiator which is in excellent condition.

If your stock radiator needs to be replaced then you probably have other options. I've seen a few swaps that used a stock 2000 truck upper hose too which may have actually worked better for me but I had already modified my pump by turning the outlet pipe. I think they had to stretch the hose to fit the radiator so i'm not sure if that would shorten the life of the hose.

2000 Camaro. I used a piece of aluminum as a spacer to mount it. I will see if I can post a pic for you.

I cant get the pics to post. I can text them to you. Get an upper radiator hose for a manual steering 2000 Camaro and a lower radiator hose for a 2000 Camaro.
