radiatorbarn.com - you need to get the right radiator size (core) for your application. The auto I believe has two spots at the bottom for the radiator cooler so it needs to have those too. I think the 1988.5 V6 radiator is probably ideal as it's 3 core. The turbo return line - don't pay extra for it, you can use a normal pipe fitting brazed on to the upper tank (any radiator shop).

Call radiatorbarn to confirm if this confuses you.

I hate plastic tank radiators too, but I specifically ordered one for my supercharged 3.4 for one reason, they have an aluminum core. IMHO the single aluminum core will out-cool a 3 core copper/brass radiator (I needed max cooling running 10 psi of boost). It will probably start leaking from those dang plastic/aluminum joints sooner than the copper/brass corrodes and gets holes in it but that's the price I pay to play.

Here's mine:

x2 for radiator barn.

I just had to replace the radiator in my Impala SS. Price was EXCEPTIONAL, quality looked good, fit and finish were terrific. (although it was aluminum core, plastic tank - just like OEM)
