How to install new radiator?

**Deathdice** · 12-29-2009

So, i got my 1996 grand prix SE 3.1,From some druggie, it barely ran. Guy was a complete dumbass.

He said, Ac was leaking, Engine was fine just :"noise" didn't even mention the crack in the windshield nor the interior Window buttons are ****, and it smelt like some ****ty skanky weed:P Not even chronic weed..haha

But yeah

This weekend, We'll since x-mas eve till this morning, we did a complete change, as we found out it had broken head gaskets,(water in the oil)
So we did the hole gasket change, on everything cleaned it to look like new, And the "noise" was so loud you thought it was going to blow up, i'll upload a new thread with pics and stuff, but here is just the basics of my question.

If i buy this radiator\

PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GRANDPRIX 94 95 96 3.1 V6 RADIATOR:eBay Motors (item 270495572286 end time Jan-02-10 17:59:00 PST)

How hard is it really to install?

I've never had to install a radiator, nor nothing but is it a fast job? Do i need a hole 4 ddays? at 5-10hours a day of work? Or can me and my dad do it in a day?

Get back to me!

The radiator is leaking, causing it to loose alot of water...and have to keep sucking from the spare bottle.

ive got a 95 and a 200 and really the radiatiors are the same. you need to remove the two upper dogbone mounts also you have to undo the four 10 milimeter bolts for the fan and their electrical pugs, and remove them both, you also have upper and lower radiator hose, and two transmission lines hooked to the radiator, i know the bottom transmission line is difficult, also the bottom hose can be fun. its really not as difficult as you think. good luck.
there is an electrical connector on the pass side of the readiator for the low coolant level. u have to unplug it too

This car, is now fully turbocharged. it's running on 14 psi T3/T4 garret turbocharged. We re-did the hole engine and dropped in the 3800, upgraded rods and pulleys, camshaft, pistons, and blew the new ones, upgraded transmission, and boarded out the engine. It's running about 625hp, and 720 with 120 shot nos.
