Hey All,

I'm looking for a replacement radiator for my 70'chevelle. Its for a 454 big block. I've looked through about 6 sites and haven't found one that would fit my situation. I'm also looking for one with a built in trans cooler.

- Be Cool is way to expensice,
- Summits, I don't want an external trans cooler,
- Griffin Muscle Car Aluminum is nice, but limited to 400hp and is expensive
- Jegs, same thing as summit.

I'm planning on putting a new radiator and electric fan setup, and when the time comes
an ac cooler.


Any links? Thanks for the help!

Go here and look for replacement stock style radiators. They have a 4 row, with A/C and trans cooler for $249. Is this what you are looking for?

Streetrodstuff.com sells PRC aluminum radiators; great quality and decent prices. They will make your radiator any way you like it.

Another thing to consider is to re-core your original radiator. ANY GOOd radiator shop can do this quite easily. When I replaced my original 307 with a bigger engine, I took my stock radiator to the radiator shop and had a 4 row core installed between the original tanks. This allows the radiator to fit in its original mounting without any modifications and the price is more than reasonable.

I did this in my 71 C10 402BB and it works great!
The tranny lines and water inlet and outlet are an exact match.
