I'm putting in a 1990 chevy 350 (thought the truck was an 89) into a 1974 pontiac ventura. The new motor needs the radiator to have a heater return, but nothing that will fit in the car has a return. The only new model radiators that will fit come from 86 to 96 corvettes but do not have the return. A little help here?

if a 86 vette radiator will fit... i am almost sure the 84 crossfire versions have a return in the radiator...

i take it that you are running the 90 water pump and belts... and that the pump rotates backward???

if you are switching to an early model regular rotation water pump.. they have inlets for return lines..

almost any radiator shop can install a return fitting in the end tank..
