What F-body radiator?

[Timberwolf]

I keep searching and everyone is just saying "f-body radiator". What year?

I'm assuming it has to be in the 93-02 range since it's aluminum, but I wanted to double check.

I got mine from Autozone for like $120. I asked for a 92 Iroc-Z. I think 87-92 will work though.

Yes you want the 3rd gen F-body. I cant speak for the aftermarket radiators but on used and OEM the newer you go the bigger the transmission cooler in the side tank is. 90-92 use a 3-plate and the older ones use a 2-plate.

make sure the f-body rad is for a z-28 350 motor

 

[Timberwolf]

so does it pretty much drop in? what do you use for a radiator support?

 

[fast eddie]

drops right in just need to fab an oil cooler,has trans cooler built in.

Delco # 20982 = GM# 5248 1615.
It's used on 545 vehicles, including:
87 Regals & Monte Carlos with 5L V8.

Total price from GMpartsDirect was $151 + $30 S/H = $181.

It weighs just 11.0 lbs!

Lacks the useless heater return nipple or temp probe (good).

The Rad's inlet/outlet ports are the correct size for the stock GN hoses, and in the correct location.

None of the TR replacement radiators have engine oil coolers anymore.

This rad has tranny cooler fittings only, and they are in a non-original location: rear (engine) side, not the front side.

Note the new Rad's drain port is on the driver side, not passenger side
