What Comprised the Factory V08 "Heavy-duty cooling system" on early 3rd gens?
In looking at the available options on 84s (& 82s and 83s I think) RPO V08 Heavy Duty Cooling System is listed as:
It was not avail w/ L69. Based on my searches there were 2 radiators available, 26" and 21". The different radiators may have also been a part of the C60 (air) option as well or maybe different engines. But there must have been two(2) components at least with the V08 given the 2 different prices. Perhaps a different radiator AND fan? Other item(s)?
My '84 V6 has C60 (air), a 26" radiator (I think, need to verify) and a three(3) blade fan. It does NOT have V08 Heavy Duty cooling.
Code:
V08 - $70 without C60 (air) V08 - $40 with C60 (air)

The air dam was determined on if you had the aero package or not but wasn't special to the HD cooling.
No oil cooler was on mine.
