Ok, so which PN is it? I see several different numbers in the post, what is it? I need to do this mod next. I figured if I couldn't find the proper rad, i'd just buy one from WBS...

The one PRJ posted... if you buy that one you'll get 1" CORE, a couple people had that happen on CGP...

432694 from rockauto.com

Hey Vinnie,

Have you gotten this radiator recently? The price is great, and I want one, I just don't want to end up like many and get a 1" rad. Will this bolt up to a 1999? Or do I need the adapters?

Thanks

I only found the info, I haven't ordered it yet.

If you read the info on rockauto it gives you the dimensions of the rad

FWIW, my car never goes above 190* on the temp gauge, it's amazing at keeping the engine running cool.

For real? I wonder why no one had this info before? What year Grand Prix do you drive (assuming its GP)? I will definatly look into that info! Bolt in with no mods? Tranny lines fit? Cool level sensor fit? Thanks!

Interesting, That crooked lower radiator hose neck on the bottom, does that interfer with the A/C compressor at all? Also that fill neck appears to be taller than the stock radiator, any hood interferance? Mount up like stock? Got pics of it installed?

Thanks!

I don't have any install pics, but nothing interferes. This is the exact radiator that WBS sells (look at the pics on their site) and I think it's the same for ZZP as well.

The only issue is restricted access to the coolant level sensor since it's back in a hole now and the battery is slightly more difficult to remove thanks to the neck projecting more inward.

Thanks for the info, I ordered one this evening! Did you notice that much more cooling with this rad? Just curious...

Well, the car never goes over 190* (and actually has never hit it). The downside is in the winter it takes longer to heat up. I've driven the 10miles from work to home late at night in the winter and it's not hot enough to leave my fans running when I turn the car off.

Very efficient compared to my stock 5/8" core.

tried looking for the part number rook posted on rockauto, what is it?
