I just got the new summit catalog and they have a direct fit radiator for our cars now for $320, part number SUM-380455, Click here to check it out. I just wanted to see what you guys though of this radiator.

 

Looks nice, I'm posting to get this thing recirculated to the top of the list, wanna know about it too, which summit catalog did that first come in? I don't remember seing it in any of the catalogs I have. Someone with some knowledge help me and this guy out.

 

It's made by northern, I have one in my car. Same fittings, blue anodized filler neck, 3 dimples on the passenger side. It fits good in my serp belt camaro, not many real mods needed, works great, built well, I did a post on it a while back called "Northern Aluminum radiator=The sheezy" it'll come up with more detailed info and a lot more people's claims. Should still be within the first 5 pages on this section.

There ya go.

 

So i got one question. It says it fits automatic trannys becuase of the built in cooler. Would it work in a manual car without those hooked up. or possible us those hook ups as a oil cooler or something? Just curious.

 

You can use it without using the trans cooler. You may want to install 2 plugs to keep the interior of the cooler clean in case you need it at a later time. Not sure about using it for an oil cooler, I think the fittings at the radiator may be too small and restrict the oil flow. The radiators should be available for manual trans/no cooler and probably some cheaper.
