RenoReno2 Member Registered: 05/16/09 Posts: 346 Loc: Chicago, IL	I picked up a new 3 inch radiator and am going with electric fans most likely out of an Intrepid/ramcharger but I'm a lil curious if the Cutlass top plate will fit on a 3 inch radiator? The radiator is described as a direct bolt in just want to see if anyones run across this before before I buy the parts. Here's a link to the radiator http://www.griffinrad.com/buy_online/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=242 _________________________ 88 Monte SS

You should be ok with it. _________________________ Frame Off Restoration in Progress 84 Monte Carlo SC 406 SBC 78 Monte Carlo 305 sbc SOLD 78 Monte Carlo Landua 350 sbc SOLD 81 Malibu Classic 350 sbc SOLD 84 Monte Carlo LS 350 sbc SOLD 84 Buick Regal 229 v6 SOLD

406monte Member Registered: 11/27/06 Posts: 3401 Loc: Stafford, VA	Almost Leo, couldn't work on it this weekend due to my left knee is about shot. I think it is either an ACL or maybe some kinda arthritis setting in the knee. Hurt like hell all weekend and seems like the only time it didn't hurt was when I was lying down and it had a slight bend in it (as long as it was straight). Weird as it doesn't hurt going up and down stairs. Need to check it out and see what's going on with it. Sorry didn't mean to hijack LOL. _________________________ Frame Off Restoration in Progress 84 Monte Carlo SC 406 SBC 78 Monte Carlo 305 sbc SOLD 78 Monte Carlo Landua 350 sbc SOLD 81 Malibu Classic 350 sbc SOLD 84 Monte Carlo LS 350 sbc SOLD 84 Buick Regal 229 v6 SOLD
