Title: Replacement aluminum radiator
Post by: bcmiller on July 15, 2024, 12:46:58 AM

Looking for anyone that has purchased a direct fit aluminum radiator for a 1969 big block Camaro.

What did you use and where did you get it?

Thanks in advance!

I installed on my 1969 Camaro 427 BB a radiator from Northern Radiator.

Also purchased the optional Shroud clips which fit well with the OEM fan Shroud. Painted it black and looks original. There is a gap between  the shroud and radiator as the Northern Radiator is not as deep as the OEM 4 row radiator, but the Northern has the long tube core and I have the console gauges and the temperature runs about 1-2 tick above the 1/4 mark and never exceeds the 1/2 way mark.

Best price I got was from Amazon.

Thanks!

I had to log in and setup and account, it would not let me see price.

Current price on Amazon:

I believe I had to buy the shroud clips from Northern?

Hard to beat Amazon, price, time to delivery, free shipping. Easy returns. They deliver 7 days a week.
