Does anybody know how I could tell if a radiator is for a Task Force V8? I acquired a used radiator; the seller said it was from a V8 truck. My stock radiator (1957 Chevy, 3/4 ton, six cylinder)is about 3/4 of an inch wider and an 1/2 inch thinner than the purported V8 radiator. My new engine is a 283, I haven't figured out the shroud issue yet.
Thanks,
Don

the rads for the 6 and 8 are the same, just mounted different [V8 rad further back] - I believe there was a heavy duty version tho, which would be different in thickness - but if the rad isn't the same width as yours it isn't for a 5-7 Chev as the core supports are all the same - may be from a GMC, which were slightly different dimensions

If you can find the original dimensions check with www.rockauto.com I bought a new copper radiator from them for $175.00 including freight (3 row wtrans cooler ) Looks just like the old one and fits right in the same place. Kieth
