stock regal radiator and 350 ?

[regal8r]

will my stock 3.8L radiator be enough to cool a 68 buick 350?? thx

[alec296]

i wouldnt bet on it. would go for a 88-90s boniville/park ave alum radiator
same dimensions. will work good with eletric fans.
will need some kind of upper holddown plate(olds cutlass/regal with 307)

Unlikely, I had trouble getting mine to even cool my 3.8L! I went with a 307 radiator to solve that problem. On my V8 Regal, I'm using a radiator and fan setup from a '92 Camaro Z28, which seems to do the job. I haven't even had the second fan kick on yet.

what kind of mods did u have to do to get it to fit??

[regal8r]

would a turbo radiator from poston work? or are they the same as whats in my regal now??

Absolutely none to the radiator. The upper shroud required cutting to clearance the hood latch, and new holes drilled to match the mounting holes in the Regal chassis.

Go with the Fbody 3rd Gen radiator--You wont regret it.Go to advance auto or auto zone -always around $100 ,great radiator

I put a radiator from a V8 g-body car plus olds top bracket, fits and looks factory.

when i put that radiator in a car before i didnt use an electric fan i believ i used the stock 307 fan shroud with it. I run a stock grand national fan in my own car but dont due a lot a sreet drivnig but when i do it does keep the car around 180
