So as I collect parts to put my small block in I see guys have done different things to put their radiator in. I want to keep a factory look so stock location I’m sure with some kind of mods BUT... what has worked for you guys? I believe I found 1 radiator that will fit copper brass deal 25x17 core size is 20 3/4x17. I don’t want an aluminum radiator. Thoughts could I cram say a 27x19 in?!? Ty in advance

Hi, Way back when i had my rad rebuilt to i believe 4 core if memory serves, and was using short water pump on 350ci. It was kept in the stock location with original mounting brackets.I ran a flex fan on it too.Kept it nice and cool.

27x19 will be tight between stock frame rails and hang down below the front valance.
A V8 Monza radiator fits if you can find one. There were two versions one for power steering and one without.

I have an aluminum dual pass Griffin, better cooling and it puts the upper hose on the passenger side away from the alternator when using Corvette brackets. Also a big difference in weight
Some people run the taller 19" core and hide it behind a front spoiler, for brass/copper you may have to look for an old school radiator shop.
