TOOK THIS RADIATOR TO GET PRESSURE TESTED AND IT'S NOT PRETTY.

SHOP SAYS IT IS REPAIRABLE. MAKE ME AN OFFER (I offered to send it to Inkpot for the cost of shipping, if you get my drift)

Factory '79 Pig radiator. No leaks when removed from vehicle 10+ years ago. Been sitting in my rafters ever since.

Apparently, this is "Specific" to the '79. It is approx. 2 1/2" wider than my '78.

$100 plus the ride. Located in So Cal

This is specific to the '79 Swine and rare as a hen's tooth!

That's why I thought I'd help a brotha out.

Sorry to hijack here guys, but I have a 79 project that I'm getting ready to do a v8 swap, and I've been thinking that I would need to replace my 79 rad with a custom jobbie. I didn't know that the 79 rad was a one-off that is larger than the others...

So...Do you guys think a 79 rad (in good condition) will effectively cool a 350?

I have heard that some of the late-model radiators were 2-core, to make room for a fanclutch or something like that...
Not sure if the OP's is a 2-core or not, also not sure if a 2-core could cool a v8.

You will have more room for a custom w/ a V8.

I do recall that a '79 rad is skinny...

You could go custom and sell the '79 rad

Hey, Hey.

Let me sell mine first

Yes, Pighead, it is a 2 core

 

[eperry0303]

No worries. Mine is not for sale. I think I'm going to try it with the SBC first.

No worries! Mine is not for sale. I'm going to try it with my SBC before I do anything...
