Need good radiator.....

My radiator took a crap and the ones that the auto parts store sell are 1 row w/plastic sides. I put one in and now my car overheats all the time. Who makes a good radiator (3 or 4 row)?

A stock type radiator should do the trick, I know lots of people using them with 350's and they don't overheat, you may have another problem, do you still have a good air deflector under the front end? It deflects most of the air into the radiator. And usually a 3 or 4 row radiator will not cool any better than a 1 or 2 row because by the time the air passes the first row or two it's already heated as hot as it's going to get and the last row or two don't do anything, if you really want a better radiator get a aluminum unit with aluminum end tanks, several company make them to bolt into Camaros but they cost a pretty penny.

Be Cool is supposed to make some good raditors gauranteed 20-40 degree temperature drop. I'm considering getting one. Anyone got experience with them?

Yeah, BeCool rads. are good, but who the hell wants to spend $500+ on a radiator? Im runnin the aluminum rad. with the side plastic tanks in my vert, and she doesent even touch 200 in the dead heat of the summer. I recommend the Dex-cool antifreeze (red stuff)... the stuff works great!

I just bought a 3 row radiator for mine for $129.00 including shipping. It's not shiney but it's damn well worth the price. They don't list the 3 row but tell them you need the 3 row in the comments section and they 'll sell it to you for the same price as the single row. Plus no plastic side tanks and lifetime warranty.

I think be cool is the best way to go it might be a little pricey. But it will help keep your engine cooler trust me I live in Florida were it is hot all year round. :lala:
