Need custom radiator
OK, this isn't strictly Corvette related, but I don't know anyplace that has more accumulated automotive expertise than this forum, so I'll ask it here. Years ago I dropped a small block into an '84 S-10 4x4. Sold it to a friend of mine who is still using it as a daily driver. The problem is the radiator is pretty much done and its a custom unit I designed and had built by a local rad shop. We no longer have anyone in town that fixes radiators so we're looking for someone, somewhere who can build a custom rad. Anyone know of a rad shop that can do this?

Dewitts could probably build him one. But it may be $$$.

Post the measurements required and let's see what the forum can find....

Crossflow. Core is 26 1/4" wide. Tanks are 14 1/2" high (not core - max height of tank). Outlet top drivers side 1 1/2". Inlet lower passenger side also 1 1/2". No cooler line fittings or level sensor. No filler. Current rad is 3-core but that's probably not necessary.

I had Ron Davis in Arizona build a custom radiator years ago for a 1982 Jeep Wide Track Wagoneer that I put a 1996 Corvette LT-1 motor in. It was just perfect and worked great.
