Default Radiator Upgrade for Eearly C4******

Just letting everyone know that I can get NEW, all metal Radiators that fit like stock for the Early C4's. I just put one in my 89...WHAT A DIFFERENCE. My vette in HOT, FLorida Tampa rush hour only sees 183F with just a single fan.. i dont even have the pusher option..!! I just kick the fan on at 180F.... and it's so nice... SO if anyone would like one of these NEW metal Units, let me know.. I can get one out to you. I get them from a small shop that doesn't deal with the public... $210 shipped. They come out to be $194ish with tax.

I would if I had a digital camera. I've been using my friends...and he's got it now... SO no, not really. the radiator itself is blk metal. metal end tanks and all. once it's installed it doesn't look like anything. Looks like a stock set up. so just look at your stock radiator now, and thats what it will look like installed:) I'll work on getting pics..but that's not gonna happen over night.

I just replaced mine with a Modine which I bought from Eckler's for $199.00. The diffference is incredible. My operating temperatures dropped from 220-230 to 175. I run a 160 T-Stat with a hypertech.
