Default Re: 69 Z28 (302) radiator

I found a local radiator shop that orders cores out of Texas and they furnished me with the .016 fin spacing, core used on most of the Z28 and big block cars. I had him order them with no top and bottom rails so we wouldn't have to remove them to put my correct rails on. He is working on my '69 curved neck COPO radiator now and I should have it back this week. I have been very pleased with the "68 Z28 and '69 396 radiators he has completed so far. There were only about 3 radiator shops left in the Kansas City area and I went out and talked to the closest one and explained what I wanted him to do. I showed him my tanks, rails and brackets and they came out great. Cost locally has run between $450.00 to $550.00 including labor to put them together, but I had good parts that were clean and straight. Have a local shop do your work and explain what you want in detail, in person and with your parts that he will be using. The CRG website has a good section on radiators with details. Clint
