Identifying a radiator
Hey guys, got (most likely) an easy question for ya. Just bought my 87 camaro a couple weeks ago and got a couple questions.
First, I have no idea what radiator I have. My car was originally a v6 car and has been swapped at some point to a 350 that the head stampings (14102193) say it was an efi motor, tho its carbureted.
Anyways, my water neck faces the driver side, and it has a hose that someone extended to reach the radiator which has the inlet on the passenger side. I'm not having cooling issues, but I'm lost on this. I've looked at pics for hours and haven't found anything very close.
Any help would be great.
Here's a shitty pic but you can see the upper hose:

Re: Identifying a radiator
And to avoid cluttering up another section with a new thread, my breather on the driver side head pumps out oil like a civ. The passenger side has a little rubber plug in it.
Can I run a catch can between the 2 heads? Thanks again for any advice.

Looks a lot like a stock 2.8L MPFI radiator
Do you have a PCV system in place?
Also looks like you might be low on coolant

Re: Identifying a radiator
The car was originally a 2.8l so I'm not surprised. And ya, she goes they a little coolant every once in a while. I think it was just my leaking temp sensor because I haven't had a problem lately.
Thanks for the reply
