Anyone that has put in a Be Cool radiator have problems making it work with their 3rdgen? Thanks

 

Well, I just installed my Be Cool radiator module system the other day. I have heard from several people that if you buy only thier radiator you have to do some major fabbing and buy other parts to make it fit correctly. With the module system, I didn't have any of those problems. My biggest thing was that I had to modify the hoses to make them fit. I have an 88 camaro that was a V6 but is now a 350. At the parts store, when I got the radiator hoses for an 88 350, they gave me the ones for the TPI motor, which I don't have.(I have a carb'd 350) Anyway, I had to go back and swap them out for hoses from an 84 305 4 barrel and cut the hoses so they would work. The Be Cool radiator inlet/outlets are in defferent locations than the factory V8 radiators(As far as I can tell) I also have a 5 speed so I didn't have any transmission lines, but I have heard and read that the lines don't like to go in the radiator very well. You have to modify the actual radiator housing on the sides, and the power steering cooler has to be moved to allow proper clearance. It really wasn't that bad for me, but like I said, I bought the module from the beginning.

 

that's the kind of crap they don't tell you - after you spend all that $ on their p.o.s. radiator. the first one i got didn't even fit right, even though it was "made" for my year car, then when i got one that did fit, oh, by the way, you have to get this, that, and the other to hook it all up. and then it only lasted about a year and a half. just my personal experience. they suck.
