I need a radiator for my 70 nova with a 396.Right now there is a 4 core small block radiator in there now.I would like to find a correct size radiator,but all I see listed st the parts stores is for 69 camaros.Will these work? Most listings describe it as having two 1 inch rows and about 18 inches tall by 23 wide apr.I dont see any listings for novas with big blocks.

3-row radiator is for L6 and SBC.

4-row was for BBC, so it sounds like you already have a big block radiator.

I thought BB radiator supports were cut wider allowing a wider radiator to be effectively used?

I run a Ron Davis radiator...expensive ($550), but fits like stock and huge aluminum job. That and a 16 inch Spal electric fan on Summit brackets-reliable cooling. The fan connects to my Holley EFI for control.

Summit Direct Fit Radiator 31x18 Not exactly cuz i wanted a 31" rad to fit the double fans. However I use the stock hoses and it fills the support end to end

This is 31x19 direct fit summit rad. It will fit in the rad support. Sometimes I need to turn off the fans. Depending on outside temp anywhere from 170-190
