Will a '73-'76-early style radiator fit with the '76-late to '82 radiator shroud?
I found a great deal on a '73-'76 style radiator made out of aluminum. I think the only difference is the top hose angle / position.
I have TPI- so the location of the top hose is irrelevant. I'm more concerned with it hitting the shroud. Has anyone tried something like this- 73-76 radiator and a 77-82 shroud?
I believe the Be Cool series calls for the 73-76 style hose when using their radiator in a 77-82 Vette (the Be Cool is a direct fit for 73-76; but needs the 76 hose for 77-82)... but the radiator I'm looking at isn't made by them; although it is a direct fit for a 76.
