ImpalaWhile undergoing many facelifts in its history, the Impala has proved itself to both civilians and police forces as one of the most capable 4-door cars GM has ever offered. Currently moving towards its 10th generation the Impala is one of the longest lasting and popular models.
Recently took on a 1969 Impala project. I replaced the original radiator with a Champion Cooler radiator, which is smaller and more compact (23” wide). The shroud is too big now. Any recommendations on a shroud that will fit an aftermarket radiator? Had anyone run into this problem and what worked for you? *Pictures attached for reference.
Ask Champion Radiator. Why would you install a compact radiator on a big block car? US Radiator sells correct radiators for your vehicle, including ones with greater capacity that will work without modifications.
The new radiator is only 2” smaller than factory, so not quite compact. I think I was searching more for recommendations on this forum, not a critique. Thank you!
