[ And ] Camaro Radiator Back when my car was L24 powered, it ran hot.

I took it to a mechanic who said that the guage was just reading high - not to worry. So, I motored on. Then the water pump fell off, the car instantly overheated, and, well, the of it is that the car is now L28 powered (L24 melted). So, in order to solve this problem, I did some digging around. If you look at the parts list at the site, there's a link to the radiator that they recommend (and resell at a premium) for a V8 Z with dimensions and everything.

I slid the radiator in place and hung it by the bolts in the top holes. Then I tacked the nuts in place. Cypress Touchpad Driver Windows 7 64 Bit. Did the same for the bottom of the radiator support.

The bottom holes end up being right at the very bottom edge - barely qualify as holes since there's like a sliver of metal left on the bottom of each one. Again, I tacked nuts in place. Then I took the radiator out and welded the nuts in securely. This is tricky since the threads can get screwed up by welding - I put a bolt in the nut before welding it in (not all the way!) and then right after I weld, I turn it back and forth. Anyway, with some 1 inch nylons spacers, everything fits perfectly.

There actually might be enough room to put a pusher elec. Fan in between the A/C condenser and the radiator. It's very thin and light. Fits very nicely. For hoses I sort of made some guestimates based on the original hoses and went to the local Advance Auto parts.
