Im getting ready to swap my 383 in the '78......probably have it done by the time i retire in 30 years...anyway wanna up grade the radiator.....be cool and griifin have entered the race...but any one know anything about afco radiators? they appeal to the cheap SOB in me
What about a Modine 951? It is the stock replacement aluminum radiator for 1991 IROC Camaros with 350s and auto trans. It drops right in place and the only thing you have to do is slightly tweak the lower tranny line. They're around $140 at Autozone.

Ernie, is this the same size as the Elkys rad? $140 is not a bad price for a new aluminum radiator. _________________ "The day we lose our will to fight is the day we lose our freedom" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG4fe9GlWS8
Yes. Same width and hose locations, but like I stated above the only thing you have to do is slightly tweak the lower tranny line. It's got plastic tanks and an aluminum core. You'll get better cooling, and it's 5 lbs lighter than the stock radiator.

It's a single core aluminum radiator. It is more efficient than the two and three core OEM replacements and it's lighter.
