Compatable Radiators
Can anyone tell me what radiators will swap or are compatable between years? I currently have (what I think is) a 3 core and looks like metal tanks from a 88 Firebird Formula 350. It does the job great until today when my fan rubbed through one of the tubes. I am looking for the same to replace it. There are several f-bodies in the pick and pull but just want to make sure. Thanks

Re: Compatable Radiators
