Busted Rad

I've had so many cooling issues with this car than I have ever had on any other car. Yesterday I notice there was a nice little buddy of fluid and thought...what the heck is that? Dont have AC, dont have power steering...what else could it be? Come to found out the radiator i sbusted on the side pieces right above the low coolant sensor.

So my question is this...what does everyone else do? I seriously dont want to JB weld plastic but if it works then why not. I also dont feel like spending 500 bucks on a Be Cool either. So what are my options for fixing the side tanks? Thanks guys!

Hit up the parts for sale section. LT1s can be had from $50-100 all the time

Well...it was either go ahead a replace it with a stock one for now or just go ahead and move on up to the bigger and badder radiators. I know TonyJ is doing this to his car, but has anyone else thrown in a bigger radiator? Maybe some nicer push/pull fans? I did a little search but not a big one. I do like the set-up on one of the cars on brady's web site.

Thanks for any and all help guys!

Try the autocross forum. Might have better luck there, as a lot of those guys use custom setups, or have fabbed certain rather large rads to work
