63 Impala radiator

Hello:


I am looking for a 1963 Impala Harrison Radiator preferably four core for manual transmission. Due to a radiator shop in my area that ruined mine thanks for helping anyone can give me.

Thanks again,
Chris

I’m hoping to find a real Harrison Radiator I purchased one from US Radiator that helps but it’s not a Harrison Radiator so I guess I’m looking for an OEM

My 425 hp car with 4 speed came with a 3 core. I think you needed air to get a 4 core. Other GM brands may have had a 4 core that would work. I think there are comanies out there that make a copy of the Harrison tanks.

Thank you I running a US Radiator 4 core now but I am trying. To put the car back to as close as I can to original otherwise I wouldn’t care at all

Does it have air? If not it came with a 3 core. Might be easier to find. There also repop Harrison tanks.

It’s a dealer add on A/C. The car had the original 4 core Harrison till the guys at the local shop messed it all up.
But where can I find the repop Harrison tanks at

I really don’t know why but when I received my old radiator back it was a 3 core. The thing was that the water would flow so fast through, it would not cool. I am not sure what they did to make the water flow so fast but it like someone open the flood gates.

I have 3 restored original 409 Harrison radiators ( 2 in my 1962’s - one in 1962 409 and a 1962 327 hardtop) They were restored with new 4 core brass cores using the original Harrison 409 only hex top stamped tops and 409 bottom tanks and straps.
The radiator work was done by a local long radiator shop.

I have over the years purchased at least 2 reproduction 409 4 core radiators from Show Cars Inc. I sold the radiator or sold the cars
The repro tanks look like the 409 tops with 2 hex bolt stamps that came on all original 1962 409 radiators.
I think they might have been US Radiator products.

Do you have any photos of them. I talked to Bruce a while back and he said they don’t do that anymore. But I can call him again. I do know that they US Radiator. I spoke with Jim over there yesterday because the radiator they sent me did not have the indent for the radiator cap so it rubs the hood. That’s another reason why I am looking an original one.

I have a SC 4 core purchased two years ago 59-64 chevy radiator: I'm actually running a 3 core no AC in Florida 180 degrees all day.

You want a photo of the top tank?

 

[Croshd]

Yes I would thanks

The reproduction won’t say Harrison on it.

I have that one the trouble with it is where the cap goes and not recessed like on the original. Also, the Show car one that has a Harrison logo on. It is in the wrong spot. They go on the top of the radiator. As you can see in the picture sorry they are not the best

 

[Croshd]

Sorry not trying to be a jerk the car was all matching numbers till this whole Radiator disaster. So I’m trying to get it back way. I am using a 4 core from US Radiator now but the cap rubs on the hood so I have to fix that issue by elongating the Bolt holes so I can make it sit a little lower so the cat doesn’t hit the hood.

Show cars used to stamped Harrison logo on them. I don’t think they still do.
