what is needed to mount a big block rad
- Thread starter ramjet gmc
- Start date
I just did this 2 nights ago, I pulled the OE 3 row out of my 91 crew cab and put a 4 row rad in. My 3 row had 2 small brackets hold the top of the rad, the 4 row has one long plate that runs the length of the rad. The 4 rubber mounts are different, but my hoses all worked fine.
The only problem I had was my fan shroud. The original one wouldn't readily bolt up so I will either have to modify it or find another. Until then I'm driving without a shroud and (ironically) it runs hotter now than ever before. /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Who's part numbers are they? Where would such parts need to be purchased?

The part #'s are GM & you can order them online or buy they at the dealer.

some dealer parts dept ppl are retarded and dont know how to look up parts and will say that the brackets are all the same 5 through 30 series, talk to a different parts counter person if the one you are talking to says the same thing, the above happened to me in this 15k population town with only one GM dealer

I did this on my 91 quite some time ago. The GM part numbers are.....
upper metal bracket - p/n 14018600
rubber pads (need 4) - p/n 6264100
shroud - p/n 14021289
It all bolts right up.

Try looking up a 1987 Chevy Suburban 3/4 ton 2WD with the 454 TBI and the automatic. I just checked and it comes up with the 433730 part number ($159.99). Like Bigburb, I also used the Autozone rad. GDI 4 core. Works great!

Go to a good radiator shop, that sells Modine radiators. They can do cross reference on it, for one that is a bolt right in fit, for $167.00 That is what I did, for my '87.
