Is there anything available or interchangeable. I would like to do this upgrade when the time comes. Will gen 2 rads fit? If so I could just grab something form zzp or intense if they make one.

2nd edit: after looking at mine, the lower rad hose outlet is on an angle and this one is straight out. If thats the only diff im sure i can do something about that. Mine is 5/8ths thick, that shit is like cardboard thick, def in need of an upgrade.

Don't get the gen 2. Get one for a 95 Monte Carlo LQ1. It's 1 3/8" thick. From advance auto parts it's part #432387

 

You'll also need to switch out one of your cooling fans and get the metal brackets that mount the radiator. Those brackets just clip over the radiator in the middle at the top and bottom. Since the radiator is thicker...obviously you need wider brackets to clip over it.

 

If you look at your cooling fans one will be closer to the radiator than the other...the one that is closer needs switched out, the other is fine.

Rob, does this mean you getting closer to getting that Prix back together?

 

:cheers:

 

:rolleyes: It means im getting closer to growing older and older and still living in my parents house. Im getting a motor in april. Depending on how things go after that...who knows.

 

I love the damn thing. If I can work out the bugs, and get the thing reliable, I'll keep it, and keep making it better. Otherwise I'm done. I have a couple assholes to thank for my progress.
