Radiators are not steel.

They're either aluminum or copper/brass in most cases.

It would help to know what class you're running.

You'll need a copper/brass radiator that fits the car correctly.

The good news is that they are easy to get. The tanks are top and bottom. If you need some measurements, let me know.

The 66 Impala radiator will work in a 66 Nova. I think I had to redrill two of the holes. The one in my car is from a 65 Impala.

We got a 66 impala settin for 20 years. the rad still has antifreeze in it. The tanks are on top and bottom. I found one that bolts up the same way but the tanks are on the side. I am gonna try and buy a new one tomorrow I guess. What should I try and buy a new one for?? the chevy 2 or something else?

What Joe said on the rad. We replaced our battery tray witha new one years back, but I don't see a problem strngtheningnyours to get by. We used thresded rod and square alum tubing from the hardware store to hold the battery down.
