I'll do it for $700!!!....that's only about $550 for labor. Seriously, someone is trying to take you for a ride. Buy the radiator from Year One and it's got 2 hoses (upper and lower) 4 bolts that hold the fan guard in place, maybe 2 bolts that hold the old radiator in place at the top. Take off the fan guard. remove the upper and lower hoses. Remove any trans cooler lines from the radiator (left side) Remove the hold-down bolts at the top of the radiator and pull it strait up. There may be two rubbers on the bottom of the old radiator that cushions it on the frame, grab those and put them on the new one. Drop it in place and install the two hoses. Connect the trans cooler lines. Put the bolts back in the top, add the fan guard. Refill the radiator with coolant. Check the trans fluid and go for a drive. Literally 45 minutes for a first timer!
You can do it yourself because it's fairly an easy job.Purchase a Haynes manual at your local auto parts store.It'll give you step by step easy to follow instructions and the tools you'll need to get the job done correctly.Don't throw away $900 bucks!
Good answer, Patriot. Don't forget to plug transmission cooler lines, that will cause a BIG mess.
your getting screwed. listen to the American patriot's answer..
It sounds kind of expensive to me.
I was quoted 900 dollars for a full radiator install is this a good price? If it helps the vehicle is a 1971 firebird 350 V8 engine automatic
