Need A Radiator
I'm doing a budget build LQ4-4l80e swap in a '86 Custom Deluxe. This time I'm going with the factory shroud and mechanical fan. The truck needs a new radiator. Does anyone have any recommendations for a reasonably priced factory style radiator. I would think it should be at least a 2-core design. A $400 radiator is not an option.
I can't believe how rust free this truck is underneath. Very rare for a Northeast truck. |

stock radiator works fine..I got a new one from O'Reilly. ..its a single core...I think the core is 1.25-1.5 but I can't remember...cost just over $100

Re: Need A Radiator
Do you think can you use the unused heater hose outlet that is on the driverside below the top hose for the steam vent line? Maybe cap it with something that can be tapped for a fitting?

Re: Need A Radiator
its actually on the passenger side below the cap....but should work...ive seen a few done that way....I drilled and tapped the water pump on mine..

Re: Need A Radiator
Yes it is the passenger side..I can get it at Advanced Auto with a 25% off coupon, If there is any problems easy to return.
Another question..Where can I pull vacuum from to operate the heat/ac controls? I am using the port in the back of the intake for the brake booster. |
Re: Need A Radiator
On the passenger side of the intake, about in the middle is a fitting for vacuum controlled HVAC stuff. There is a small tab you just have to break off.
