what were they in 82 with LG4 and mechanical fan and auto trans and a/c ? were they aluminum or copper ?

does anyone know

for sure ??

what was put in them factory ?

help!
?

thanks

 

?

 

It would be the same as my '84 LG4. Engine driven clutch fan with a aluminum radiator core and plastic side tanks.

 

Ditto

 

ok

so no copper ones were used 82 92 ?

i had an 84 that was copper rad


was it not factory ?

i really think no one on this forum has any idea what rads were used in what

for real

thanks anyways

 

Everything '82 on was aluminum core with o-ringed plastic side tanks. The 1980's was about that time GM started switching to that style in all their vehicles.

Copper core radiator sounds like it was aftermarket or somebody cobbled one in from an older car that fit. The factory radiators were made by Harrison.

 

so was just an f body thing then eh ?

cuz all 80s RWD ive ever seen been copper

but them im used to the a and b bodies,

the g bodies im pretty sure are copper brass also but they are 27" wide same as third gen f bodies i know


cant put one in place of a third gen f body 17" alum radiator ?



hmm

hope someone knows ? someone here surely must be a guru on this subject ?


thanks

 

dens and paul; do you guys have pics of your setups ? or anyone else with 82-85 stock factory mechanical fan and shroud setup for these cars ?

thanks

i really need to see what the fan looks like and how they mount up with or without spacer, etc.

need details SUPER BADLY

seems like no one has any idea how the fans bolt to the waterpump hubs ?

how many grooves on water pump pulley for with a/c and p/s ?


any original GM stamping part numbers ? numbers from halves of fan shroud ?

length of fan mounting bolts ?


measurements, fan diameter ? hole in shroud diameter ?

distances from fan to radiator and fan to engine block ?



thanks

 

I have no pics at all of my motor with a mechanical fan - it hit the junk heap in 1991 - I have the dual L98 electric setup now. I would never go back to the mechanical fans in a thirdgen....

 

but what else could i do in this 82 LG4 T/a then ?

im at a loss if i shouldnt go to mechanical like factory put in it

just be more other parts that i cant damned find for this car, and wiring to do then.. and so forth


hmmm



ideas, recommendations ?


thanks
