radiator help

[oneofafew]

Hey Guys,
I have read several posts on different options for radiators to fit my 85 GN.All have been well researched by the posters. I have the larger of the two offered from the factory. Has anyone had any dealing with the Champion Cooling aluminum P/N 162? Is the fit where I can use the existing factory hold down plate, fan, shroud, hoses, and lines? I have not really had any overheating issues, the original is gettting old and kind of leaky. Just looking at an upgrade instead of paying for recoring.

Thanks

Do a search here for the napa f-body radiator. They used to be 124.00 or so and the are a single row aluminum radiator with plastic tanks.

Alot of people run them, alot of my close friends run them and i have them in all of my cars.

The f-body radiator does not have the provision for the engine oil cooler, but i am not sure if the hot air engines have that anyway.

Let me know if you need help finding the modine radiator from napa

Second vote for the F body rad.

Top shelf. Keeps the car super cool and I ran a separate trans cooler anyway that I mounted with plastic ties to the F body rad.

Install was simple and I have dual Ramchargers fans on it as well. 160 degrees is as hot as it goes!

Do it.
