I would like to cure my Camaro, of our cars tendency to boil over and overheat. I don't have a race engine or a bigblock so don't even mention BeCool. I would like to spend $200-250 on a good radiator, suggestions? (Web sites would be useful)

Thanx,

Colinfinkle,I emailed Us radiator and got a resonse about radiators for my 89 camaro.I will forward the email and attachment to you if you dont mind.They have a website but our year isnt listed,they have radiators for our year cars though.I will send it let me know if you get the attachment

even better yet, to save money (assuming your radiator is still in good condition):

flush it out, use redline water wetter / wetter water (whatever) w/ water (H20), a 160 degree thermo, and if you want super cool runnings, a fan temp switch.

I discovered something. If you look on be cool's website you'll see that the radiator for our cars is 19"x31". now if you look in a dirt track catalog Afco radiators in "chevy style" are 180 bux or so for 19x31. Anyone doing this? I'm running a manual trans so the addl. cooler isn't nessecary, but if you're an auto you should get a trans cooler from Summit or Jeg's

 

I want to know what's involved with a Griffin (or what he suggested) 31x19 radiator. Anyone know about a cheap tranny cooler? I think that we can all bend the lines ourselves, so the kit wouldn't be nessary. I don't mind paying $50 for a b/m one but I don't want to pay a premium for part's store rubber lines and fittings, so I think around $20.

Anyone have one laying around?

I run separate braided teflon lines from my transmission to my tranny cooler(Didn't want to deal with the mess of stock lines)when I installed my Griffin the only problem I had was the fact that the stock cover is too small so I had to rig it up untill I get ahold of some stainless steel sheets.
