Default Re: Proper rad for L-78 nova

Wilma

As you say, prices vary with quality. If you where going to purchase an aftermarket radiator, what would you buy, so that it had the correct look and proper fit?? And well I got you here, how about the proper bolts for the radiator support bracket?? Is there some where to get the correct bolts for this? I realize they are 2 different bolts with 2 different part #. I have put the part # in e-bay, and found them, but they want to sell you a hand full, and I only need 1 of each. Your help is always appreciated. And thanks to the replys on this subject. I will be ordering one once I have these questioned answered. Thanks again

I have purchased several units from US Radiator and they are first quality...made in USA. They have several options..all good values. Camaro Specialties offers the show quality "Harrison" imprint replacement...it is pricey, and I'm not sure if it is an exact duplicate...never did a comparison..perhaps others have. There are other low-grade replacement units available..but, I've never considered them an option. As for the hardware...I would check with Wayne Bushey at NNN...he can probably help you. www.nnnova.com 717-252-4192

FYI: I just saw an original ZD tag unit sell on Team Camaro for $500..that's a steal...it is worth twice that in my book...so, there are values out there.

Thats a bummer about the one on team camaro, I would of last looked on sunday, then traveled to camp on monday, and been real busy since!!

I see they have 3 different options to choose from. Please tell me which one you have purchased. All your hardware, fanshroud, etc just went right together with no problems? Thanks again for your time Wilma. You have been alot of help with this post, and with my Nova.

I'm pretty sure I got the High Efficiency unit....but, I think it came in a 4 core style. The 1st gen Camaro is the same as Nova...they list a 4 core for Camaro...give them a call and discuss the details. As for the shroud and other items you will need...Wayne at NNN has all that stuff and it works fine with these radiators.

Hope this helps.

I have everything else, fan shroud clips, shroud, etc for the BB set up, the rad and the 2 bolts are the last things for the proper details under the hood. I will call them tomorrow, and see what they have to say. I have a friend going to barrett jackson, maybe he can bring it back with him. If not I will get it shipped to Arizona, and my aunt can bring it back to canada when it warms up enough for her. Have yourself a good evening [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]
