thanks redheartbeat! i sent my heads to be milled .030 to bump the compression...6 weeks later still not touched. got them back an left them alone. it actually made me mad bc i was counting on my heads being milled and running a higher compression. but oh well, it just taught me not to ever go back to them an everyone i know i will recommend them to stay away from them.
dumb question, but...
where to get the red scotchbrite pads? only thing i remember seeing are green ones.

redheartbeat: i looked through your garage pics an didnt see any pics of the radiator..did you trim down the bolt tabs considering the stick up past the radiator support or did you cut the bottom out an make it lower that way you could use the tabs to bolt it in. any ideas would be great before i cut up my radiator

Auto paint store can get you the red scotchbrite, its about the most popular one there is and then there's the grey which is less abrasive. Oreilly's may have it too.

If you're using a NBS radiator, drill holes in the core support where pin holes are supposed to fit in. I used a hole saw to do the blue truck's radiator mount hole locations in the lower core support. After that its just as simple as dropping it in and making a couple tabs to mount the topside to the upper core support area.

Something easy to do while you still have it apart. Take that crappy spring loaded chain tensioner and toss it in the dumpster. Thats all its good for. It will FAIL. Trust me. Then replace it with GM #12588670. It will last and save your motor..
