G-body swap guys: Which radiator?
Hey guys, I figured since I am swapping pretty much everything else, I might as well get a new aluminum radiator. I was curious as to what would be a direct fit in my 86 monte carlo as well as where you bought it and how much it was. Any info is appreciated . Thanks.

Yep thats about what mine runs, I don`t think it even gets to 200 degrees. I used the engine driven fan for a while, but then I went electric so that I had room for a full 4" air intake tube. When I went to electric fans I grabbed the fans out of a mid to late 90`s 3800 v6 car as they were about the right width and dirt cheap.

Any pictures or part numbers of these radiators?

Using the stock 3 row in mine. Haven't fired it up yet. Should work fine as others have said it does. As G-body said, it has ports in passenger side tank to connect the TB coolant hose. I don't have the TB hose connected in these pictures, but I used the 1/8 NPT port and a nipple to connect the TB hose. I wanted to run the stock mechanical fan also, but as Gbody has already pointed out, it would not provide enough room for the 4" intake plumbing. I should get that done today. I also used a Ford Taurus electric fan. See pictures:

I know this is an old thread but I have a question about this subject. I have a stock style radiator in my 79 Malibu from Oreilly auto parts and it has the extra port below the overflow port. Does anyone know the size of this threaded hole? i'd like to get a reducer with a barbed nipple and run my steam tube to it.
Thanks, Dan
