But it would work.

I ended up returning it because it didn't look like the picture. I'm sure it would work, but not the design I was looking for. But great customer service from Revain!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Easy to maintain

Fits well with minor modifications

Fits well on 1971 Cutlass Supreme 350 2 stem that has a 12" transmission cooler in the radiator; only problem is the heatsink is too thick for the rubber bumpers that mount the Heatsink Hold 100% Metal Radiator

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Negative present

Nothing for old cars. Missing parts

Both hose connections are the same size on this radiator so it will not fit older cars. They sent a note that accessories should be in the box but there are no accessories. I had to buy a radiator locally.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Fits

not what you want - Parts

Bought for my 1970 Chevelle. The first thing I noticed was that the transmission cooler connection fittings required adapters. Then I found that the upper/inlet hose was the wrong size. The radiator inlet is 1 1/4" and the original radiator was 1 1/2", so the hose was too big. I figured I might have the wrong heatsink, so I went to the Spectra website and looked for it. Then I discovered that there is a kit with adapters and fittings. So where's the kit? It wasn't in the box. Now I need to find

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • So so
