Just curious if there's a four core radiator?
I know most radiators for the thirdgen camaro V8 are three cores, however I was curious if there was an aftermarket four core radiator that would fit in a thirdgen camaro.

 

superior radiator in michigan sells them for 265. I forget the phone number

 

You can get factory 4 core radiators from a junk yard. 3 row high efficiency works nearly as well.

Thanks, fellas!

I'll probably start looking at a junkyard
and go from there.

 

Yea, I have one. Its for sale too
AFAIK, there arent any 4 row radiators used stock in anything that would fit a thirdgen. IMO I think an aluminum is better, theres usually more fins, and its a bunch lighter than brass/copper. They are usually constructed better as well.

While looking, pay close attention to the actual size of the rows. A 4 row with 1/8" wide rows isnt going to hold a candle to a stock 1" wide aluminum radiator. Or then again, you could probably light the candle on the 4 row in that case because your car would be overheating.

 

Griffin sells dual 1" aluminums cheap (less than $200) and dual 1 1/4" for more. Either one will whoop a 4-core radiator, but you must do mods to fit it.

The f-body rad is a 19" x 31" GM style. To my knowledge there are no factory GM 4 core 19 x 31 rads available. I've seen wider ones but they won't fit between the frame rails. It may be possible to find a 19 x 31 Ford 4 core rad but the upper and lower rad hose ports won't line up.

There are many aftermarket 4 core rads that will fit. You could even ask your local rad shop to make you one.

A 4 core rad is also very heavy. For what it would cost to have one made, it would be cheaper to buy an aluminum rad.
