I'm headed to the junkyard for a radiator. Mine sprung a leak. I went yesterday and got the last radiator off a third gen f-body in the whole lot. I tested it and it leaks worse than my original.

Now I'm screwed. I need a cheap radiator NOW, but there are no more third gens at the yard. Will any other GM vehicles have a radiator that will fit?

I don't have an A\C condenser anymore and I have a manual, so no tranny lines to worry about. Just anything that will fit in on them rubber boots and fit under the electric fan cover that holds the top down with an outlet at the bottom passenger side and a return at the top drivers side.

 

junk yard radiators are a horrilbe idea. 9 times out of 10 theyre gonna leak from corrosion from just sitting for years. can you not afford $80 for a new rad?

Every stock plastic tanked GM radiator that fits our cars is going to be that age that they start popping. Just get a Northern replacement, they're about $100-150 and are damn near an exact copy of the real thing. Don't even mess with used crap, I had several of them, all junk. Ended up buying two new Northern radiators, no regrets.

 

Probably just going to have to take a tape measure with you.

 

That's what I ended up doing. The only ones that fit had in\outlet holes 1\4 the size of our tubes.
