Radiator change
Was wanting to know what all had to be changed to go from a regular 3 core radiator. To the big thick tanked one.

Re: Radiator change
So it should fit on the core support with just changing of the mounts? And is there any problem with motor wanting to stay cold in the winter with one of those big ones?

Re: Radiator change
if you wind up going with a brand new aftermarket radiator you may need new upper mounts and a different shroud... i had this problem with an 82

Re: Radiator change
picked up the radiator. out of a 79 model. didnt know the core supports were different on the top soo the bracket used for the top wont work on my 82. Anybody know if you can order some new brackets? the ones i had were for my 3 core and arent long enough to go over the tank.

Re: Radiator change
This would be a very good write-up if someone had all the current part numbers to do the swap. I need to do this one of these days...
