Thread: 29 coupe radiator

Tweet

Pops,
Like Tech says, everyone has their favorites. I'm working with the guys at N&N and they like the PRC aluminum units, saying that they have had great experience with them at pretty healthy savings. They buy them as a set, with the AC Condenser core mounted.

Yep, there are a lot of good choices out there these days. It depends on if you like copper or aluminum. In recent years I've become a fan of aluminum, I just think it cools a little better. No scientific proof to bear that out, but I do know my T with the same 350 Vortec you have never gets over 160. Even sitting at lights it MAY come up to 180 but the fan kicks it right back down, and as you can see I also live where it is a little warm.

PRC has built us 4 or 5 so far and each one is really nice and efficient. Even the chopped one in my Kids 30 rpu with a 464 Olds ran somewhat cold during the hour breakin period.

BTW, welcome to the group.

If you're concerned about appearance be careful in the unit you pick. The '28-9 rad shell requires a shaped radiator to fill the hole properly, not just the usual rectangle. Some vendors who build down to a price don't go through the extra work to make it so.
