Radiator question

Anyone know by looking at this picture if this is a correct radiator for my 72 blazer project? Is it a 3 or 4 core? It is in a 69 or 70 2wd right now and looks to have been changed recently before heading to the salvage yard! Thanks

Re: Radiator question

looks like a 4 core to me that would work. Check and see if it has a heater hose going into it. if it does not a big deal you would have to put a plug in your water pump.

Re: Radiator question

Open the cap and count the end tubes. Looks like a four core, my 70 Blazer has one but no heater hoses coming out, but I think that was correct anyway.

Re: Radiator question

That does not look like any of the OEM stock radiators that I have or have seen. The top core protection plate is not OEM. Wrong shroud as well. It might be an old aftermarket replacement.

Re: Radiator question

I agree with the shroud not looking right but not sure about the rad until we see more pics . The rad hose definitely not oem . And the rad appears really big but that could be the picture distortion or the angle it was taken on
