305 to 454 swap

[truck86]

Hi, I installed a 454 in my 1986 c10. It had a 305 in it. My question is what radiator sizes will fit and also does anyone have part numbers for the brackets for the power steering pump. I need those as well.
Thanks

Just in general, you can call an auto parts store and ask them to cross reference the parts to the vehicles / engines to see if its the same part number.

Use a mid 80’s 1 ton truck with a 454 and HD cooling option as an application.

With a bigger radiator you’ll also need the brackets and fan shroud. A 7 blade fan with a severe duty fan clutch is always a great upgrade.

I guess I was hoping somebody could tell me a radiator they used from another year of square body that worked for them possibly?

I thought I did that except for specifying a year (‘81+ interchange).

I have a huge 4 row radiator in my Blazer but it’s from a CUCV so parts places can’t look it up military trucks. I could tell you it’s the same as the same year civilian truck but thats as “vague” as my first post.

Note: diesel radiators have different size hose necks that have to be dealt with to fit a gas engine.

#3 did that.
