    Default Chevy V8 Radiator

    I have seen a lot of posts saying a CJ to Chevy V8 radiator will replace the original radiator.

    When I look at these 2 pics of the radiator's seems the bottom connection is a little off.

    Is this OK? Does the connection pipe flex enough to be able to meet the pipe?

    Chevy Conversion - https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-Core-Alum...2/222826039813

    I just want to confirm before buying a chevy conversion one.

    Thanks for the info.

    This is for a CJ Jeep conversion to Chevy V8.

    So possibly different from what you have?

    All of the AMC v8s were the same, so that is a constant, CJ and FSJ are possibly the same depending on year (I know there are 2 different widths) I can take some pics of mine later but the radiator came with and it has flex hoses to it so I might not be much help there...
    Is that real money?

    Are you running a Chevy engine or stock? from the "stock" M715 pic to the ebay pic, there shouldn't be enough of a difference there to matter...

    I used one for a late 60s Chevelle with a 396 in my truck. Had to trim the mounting flange off the back of the radiator, other than it fit perfectly.

    Default 1967 Chevelle radiator MC289

    I'm finally replacing the stock radiator and I've got this one coming in the post tomorrow for my M725 with SBC350. My measurements show it should fit without modification to the core supports and I think it will clear the steering box brace down low. I'll let you know how it turns out.

    This was what I bought on ebay:
    Brand:Champion Cooling
    Manufacturer Part Number: MC289-2
    Material: Aluminum
    Interchange Part Number: AE289,CC289,MC289,CU289,289,433289,0289-3AA,0289AA
    Row Count: 4 Rows
    Style: Downflow
    Surface Finish: Polished Aluminum
    Core Length: 25 1/4in.
    Core Height: 16in.
    Row: 4 Row
    Core Thickness: 2 3/4in.
    Inlet Diameter: 1 1/2in.
    Outlet Diameter:1 3/4in.
