I've been searching for a direct fit aluminum radiator and found the Alradco Aluminum Gbody Radiator on gbodyparts.com. I was wondering if anyone is currently running this rad and if they are happy with it. Or do you have any other suggetsions i kno the aluminum rads are kinda pricey. Im looking for one with the stock transmission line locations which i kno the alradco has.
Aluminum radiator
- Thread starter malibu78
- Start date
The 2-core aluminum Monte Carlo or 1982-1992 F body radiator are slightly different in size, but both are relatively cheap. You can get them from places like JC Whitney for a little more than $100 (the last time I bought one).
I bought a bolt in aluminum radiator right from Auto Zone about 5 years ago for my 78 malibu. Thing works great, I usually sit at 185-190 all the time. I even blew a head gasket with the first small block I had in it and it still ran 205 all the way home with blue smoke and steam blowing out of the driver's side exhaust. Only about $120.00

Finishing up the installation of my Champion tomorrow. It was a direct fit replacement and was not that expensive. Got it for $158.00 delivered from a seller on eBay. All aluminum construction and has the trans cooler fittings as well as a fitting for a temp gauge.....
Looked very nice right out of the box.
