Which radiator for upgrade

[Apachemike]

Which radiator did you guys use when going from a 6cyl to a 350. I will be adding AC and an elec fan. I'm leaning toward the 2 row 1" tube. Worked really good in my vette but never really taxed it much. Thanks

For the red 59

if your current radiator is in good condition it will work with fine with the v8 as gm only offered one radiator for both motors
mine was not so good after 30 years of action and 10 years parked

i installed the stock replacement ''desert cooler'' radiator, bought from brothers; drop shipped from us radiator
i also bought the shroud and 16'' spal fan from brothers; again drop shipped from us radiator
it came with the trans cooler built in and was a direct bolt in

I bought mine off eBay call American Radiator it was 2 core aluminum $200. Made for the 47-54 Chevy truck fit perfect. They're in LA California

Ogre. If it wasn't for the truck now being converted to auto and adding an AC I would give it a shot. I'll probably go with what i know and get the 2 row with 16" fan
Rico, yep, was looking at those for the 59
Thanks

No problem, for a fan I got a 16" flex a fan called Cyclone. Made my own mounts and it fit perfectly

Entropy Radiator makes one with all the extras that bolts in with dual fans and all the goodies. Way less than Be Cool or most of the others. They will also put the hoses in the tight spot for the motor.

We went with PRC, I actually called and talk to the guy up there and he built the radiator for our truck. We are running a big block with AC and all the bells and whistles. Probably a lot more than a generic after market one but I feel like it is going to cool the truck fine.

American Eagle in mine.

Had the shroud custom made and installed a 16" Maradyne fan.
