Re: [Chevelle-list] Aluminum Radiators and Fans
If you don't mind doing a little homework, go to Advance Auto, ask to look through the radiator book, and choose one that'll fit (there's multiple choices). You can get an OEM (it mid 90s truck I think) for about 1/3 the cost of the BeCool. One thing to remember is that Alum radiators are measured differently than brass. A 27" brass radiator does not include the tanks, a 27" alum does include the tanks. So you can't replace a 27" brass with a 27" alum. Just use the outer dimensions of a brass radiator. Hope that helps a bit.
