Radiator

Once again I need help I am at my wits end , I cant seem to find a radiator to fit my 78 vette for the 454 I put in , I tried one from a 74 but it is too long it fits but the supports aren't right, any help would be appreciated .

The stock unit might handle it. Make sure the support and shroud seals are in good shape.

I put a Dewitt's aluminum radiator in my 75. It's never run so cool. Check with them and see what they recommend.

I can't believe how cool mine runs with the Dewitts, worth the money.

Lots of people really like that Champion unit and love the great prices and then yours is a steal I bet someone will jump right on that deal....
