What year / model is this radiator...??



I put a 2nd gen radiator in my 1st gen quite the few years ago and I can't remember for the life of me what year it came out of...

I ask bc I know there's a difference btwn years... I need the one in the pic above bc the one with the long filler neck that sticks out doesn't allow my shroud to fit properly...

Thanks...

Radiator barn, www.radiatorbarn.com $165 shipped to your door, all metal and btw, the fastest shipping you can imagine. I ordered my last radiator from them and it was there the next day, via ups.

I would go with Fluidyne or Koyo which are nice.
That particular one on E-Bay seems a little pricey. You could also try and Chevy radiator mount since those are kind of similar...

That's not pricey after looking at this one...

I've been doing alot of searching in the 1st gen and 2nd gen forums and there's not much... Everything is either really pricey or requires fabbing, which I'm not really looking to do. I will if I have to but pictures of set-ups I've seen from others in past posts, they've veered away from the stock look.

I have one just like that, out of my 88 vert. I blew the top composite part, and jb welded it to get it home... it blew through that but i only let it sit for like 15 minuits. with those kind of temps, you want to let it sit a day. which is what i did after reapplying some after i got home. its not in great condition but i'll sell it for 10 + shipping.
