RADIATOR INFORMATION

ss427 · 03-05-2008, 11:32 AM

Hello,
I have a 1962 Starfire with a shot radiator. My question is will a over the counter 62-64 Impala radiator work in it's place. If I have the origianal radiator recorred it will cost me in the neighbor hood of 450 dollars. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Offhand I'm thinking no because of hose positions and attachment to the core support. If you have a friend with that year Impala (and SS427 tells me you might), maybe you can measure the cores and tanks.

I guess you're a victim of California pricing and EPA regs, but I had the one for my 64 done for $235 3 years ago. I carried him two more myself plus a couple buds had him recore some, and we got a pretty good discount on the rest of the jobs- about $190 each, and one was a Toronado core.

Tell us about this Z24. And no, I don't consider no damn Cavalier a Z24.

I have an original radiator radiator from my 63 cutlass/f85,, have not checked Hollander, if it would work, I can let it go for a reasobale price.
