Radiator Interchangability

Hey y'all,

Regarding my 23 Star C Tourning:

Both my radiator and shell are in ruff shape. Both have had work done on them in the past that was not very well done.

Lance Chabot lives nearby and has a radiator from a 26/27 Star Six available.

Are these radiators interchangable?

I was going to send Lance a photo of mine along with some measurements but due to the shape of the radiator and hood needing to match the curves it would be difficult at best to say it's a good match with only the width at the bottom and height.

My emblem is in good shape and should be easy to change.

Thanks for your help again.

Hi Tony......

The early radiator & shell are completely different than the later ones. They will not interchange.

Check out the photographs section to see the difference

Re: Radiator Interchangability

Thanks Frank, yes the photos make the answer to the question obvious.

Anybody have any input as to what my options are?
