4 row radiator conversion

Is there anything different between a 3 row and 4 row radiator to install one

I think at the most you MIGHT need larger rubber rad mounts but I dont think so. I have a rad, which I believe is a 4 row, and it just bolted in. My rad was taken out of a 500 ci. caddy. I'd just measure the thickness of the end tank where the rubber sits and compare it to yours.

I had too use bigger rubber blocks and I even made a little bracket because I could not get it to sit nice and straight. It was a simple piece of flat 1 inch wide flat bar stock bent into sort of a half of a rectangle.I bolted it to the rad support and just let the radiator it self lean against it ,worked fine.

i have a 4 row in my 73 mc. had no problems with it fittin.....

Ok cool so it should work but got to get it and see what I'm working with

Where are you getting yours from?

I had a 4-row in a Chevelle years ago. It was heavy as hell too. I go with 3-row aluminum now, to save weight on the front end.

I want durability not weight savings

I can't complain about durability in aluminum radiators, since my '92 pickup has one, 20 years old next May.
I suppose it depends on what part of the country, since salt is used on roads here (lots of it !)

My biggest concern is the aluminum cracking or warping Arizona heat is very unforgiving

What you have to worry about is that most aluminum radiators are glued together and some brands might come unglued. JB
