    What do you think of a used radiator?
    « on: December 30, 2008 - 05:25:56 PM »
    Hey guys I found a guy selling a 26inch radiator part number 3492161. I was wondering if this will fit my car. Also the guy says it will need to be taken to a radiator shop. Its 50.00 should I get it?

    If its a small block 2 row radiator, might be worth 10 bucks. Shoot, Ive got one you can have.

    If it needs recoring, you're probably better off buying something new.  It isn't a rare model.

    I was just at the radiator guy the other day. He told me it might be about $450 to re core one.

    all 26" rads are not the same , I have come across a bunch with different side supports , these are nowhere close to bolting into an E body , basically bet on using the tanks & maybe the side supports , the core is generally junk & it will be $450 to recore
