78-87 A/G cooling
 
I will be using a CSR electric water pump. What are you guys running for radiators and fans/controllers? I was looking at the Modine 951 radiator? I also want to run an electric fan. Thanks -Jim

Anyone here using the Modine with an electric fan? Or maybe a Summit generic aluminum and electric? I was thinking of maybe using a Mark VII, that is what I have on my GTO and it is VERY powerful. -jim

I grabbed a set from GM fwd. It just about bolted up. the bottom bolt holes line right up.

It places the bottom of the fan to close to the rad, so I installed some old end link bushings I had laying around. The bushing look almost exaclty like the "factory" ones on the top.

It works great, if I hit them both, you can watch the temp guage drop.

The Modine 951 radiator is that the one they list for the mid80s early 90s Iroc Camaro? Mines not a Pontiac (87 Turbo Regal). I have a radiator from a 87 Iroc with the stock factory fan and a 160 thermostat, runs around 160 - 170 even in high heat and humidity.

Yes the Z28 radiator is the one the Buick guys say to use. I am wondering what electric fan would fit it nicely? -Jim
