    Need a new radiator for the 83 Regal and since the 455 is going in soon, I want to upgrade. Anyone make a good one?

    Thanks,
    Jon

    I got a direct fit Street Eliminator dual core aluminum radiator from BeCool for pretty cheap. Welded aluminum tanks, etc. Any parts store these days will have an aluminum single core radiator with plastic epoxied on tanks.

    I chose the Griffin Dominator for $379 from Griffin. HUGE... and it fits Buick 455 Regals.

    I ordered mine off SummitRacing.com. It was somewhere around $250.

    I bought the universal tank from Jegs : 26 x 19" .. 3" thick tanks by the tape. I built a 2" deep shroud that covers the whole thing and used a cheap NAPA 16" elect fan and it keeps my dyno'd 650 hp '84 t-type cool in any weather. But I do have the mez elec water pump.... Just a thought. The fan was $60, the rad was $160 and the shroud was a scrap alum sign with hardware store alum angle iron.
