ismellrealbad Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 *I think* the Monte Carlo's got bigger radiators. Just pick one of those up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Only thing larger is the LQ1 radiator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34Phoenix Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 the rad ZZP sells is the LQ1 rad anyway. FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismellrealbad Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 gotcha, will check this out Edit: I guess this one (its off ZZP's site)? It looks like mine at least 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJD5 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 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.

AWeb80 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Rob, does this mean you getting closer to getting that Prix back together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismellrealbad Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Rob, does this mean you getting closer to getting that Prix back together? 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.

19Cutlass94 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 or you cna go to NAPA and buy a radiator for your car. We dont carry any 1core radiators for our cars. They have all been made to 2core now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
