1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 door hard top ------I'm getting close to ordering a radiator....the engine is a V8 383 stroker Chevy small block. I'm thinking aluminum radiator with 3 cores. Any advice and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would recommend a PRC radiator. They make some nice stuff, and it's competitively priced.

Thank you
There's a bunch of them on the market now. I chose a PRC also.
FWIW, you won't find any 3 row aluminum radiators. They are all 1 or 2, with 1" or 1-1/4" tubes. I think the PRC is two 1" tubes, but it's been a while since I had that info. But if you get a big crossflow radiator, don't worry about that too much, that part is not a problem. Keep in mind that copper/brass radiators use much smaller tubes, that's why you need 3 or 4 rows of them.
Okay that helps.....thanks for the advice.
I have PRC too. Would buy again.
