Default Paging CFI-EFI!!!!!

I am in need of a Modine radiator for a 1992 LT1 with an auto trans. Mr Mojo mentioned you have a connection... Would you share?

Thanks
Dana

Thank You... I checked the dealer and it is $400, Aftermarket at an autoparts store is $200. I would rather have a factory but this car is draining my funds quick.

Modine is tough to beat. Last I checked, I should be able to save you a couple of bucks.

My contact was unavailable when I was offline. I'll try in a bit. Your picture is somewhat out of focus. If you are pointing out a leak in one of the plastic tanks, call a rad shop. The tanks can be replaced far cheaper than even the flimsiest radiator.

Sorry for the focus.. I stuck the camera in and snapped the pic... it was a tight area.
Yes the tank is cracked... I didn't know I could have that fixed its plastic.

I have no experience with fixing a crack, but I have had two tanks replaced in the 18 years I've owned my car. The core is the factory unit. My A H "buddy" took the afternoon off, so I don't have any info. Maybe I should hold off while you price out replacing that tank.

Do the radiator R&R yourself to save more bucks.

RACE ON!!!

That's exactly what happened to my rad, I replaced the rad since it was quicker. I needed the car for the next day so I had a midnight thrash after work one day, got it done in time for my trip.

I still have my old rad, the plastic tanks are cracked, but the core is still good, maybe I'll get new tanks so I always have a fresh rad hanging around.

I called a couple of radiator shops in town and they said they don't repair the ones with the plastic tanks. I guess I will be looking for a new one.


I have the radiator out right now... what a b!t%h it was to get those 6 bolts in the front on the shroud.

My tank cracked also. They don't repair the tank, so to speak. They just throw a new tank on. In my case it was around $80.
