IM getting ready to do the 350 to 455 engine swap. I have a 2 core radiator in the car right now and probable should upgrade. Will a 4 core fit in the 2 cores place or will I have to swap out the core support?

What model are you working on?

 

1970 Olds cutlass supreme.

 

That model stock should have came with a 3 core.
All Cutlassas in and around that year w/455's had
4 cores. At least of what I have seen, if it had heavy
duty cooling, w/air. We just don't see a lot of cars down
here in Texas without air from back in the day. I have heard
of guys speading the saddles to get them to fit, but I believe
they are spot welded to the core support at the bottom and also
the cap on top as well.

 

It looks like I have a 2 core in it now, Car does have AC, I looked in the filler neck and counted 2 row of cores. Some one probably swapped it out. Do you know of an aftermarket that would be a direct bolt in?

 

Someone will chime in with that info.
I think John, 2blu442 may have some extras
that would work for you. You also may try
Scott, oldspackrat. These guys would have
oem radiators.

 

Ok Cool! Thanks for your help!

 

No problem. If any of my info is
wrong, we will hear about it...
