what is a good radiator when doing a 350 swap

liftit · 10-10-2009, 11:02 PM

im in the process of doing a 350 swap right now but i dont want to weld the engine mounts until i have a radiator that will work. ive done some research on it and found that a corvette or chevelle radiator will fit if i fab up some mounts but was just wondering if there is a better solution. also today i hoisted the 350 into the engine bay and realized its a lot snugger fit then i thought but still ok, has anyone cut the front core support and fabed it up so you can push the radiator foward a little? any info will help

Probly any rad that runs with a 350

Every 350 swap i've seen has been done with a cut up core support fabbed to accommodate the rad
