Radiators are not steel.

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

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

I run a 66 chevy 2 in stock. I have aluminum in it I know it wont fly.

sorry I did forget to put what I was 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.
