Radiator Question
« on: April 20, 2010, 01:05:12 pm »
So what's a good radiator for a 5.3L swap into an 81 GMC 2wd that has both hoses on the passenger side? I would like to use just a replacement type radiator from another vehicle if possible instead of the $$$ all aluminum ones. Has anyone used a Scirocco style radiator in their truck?

Thanks,
Brad

You can check with Summit on their branded radiators.  They are less than $300 right now.  I wouldn't go cheap on a radiator though...

I know a couple people using these, just call them with you specs:

Griffin makes one also, but it is aluminum and $$$ also.
