Many thanks for the info!

What are the fittings on the '77 Bonneville?

Don't have the numbers at hand, but they are nice and big--maybe 5/8" and 1"? A stock Bonneville core has to have it's inlet and outlet reduced to work with a PC.

All american car heatercores have a 3/4 and a 5/8 tube and must be reduced to 1/2 in one way or another.

If so it would be the next best thing to a heatercore.

i like my radiator
its
coolrad 120mm radiator 30$ on svc
really good with handling pressure
i have both heatercore and coolrad they are the same
but the coolrad maybe 1 temp higher
if you have a lot of preassure get the coolrad
if not still get it its better then the black ice III

Which actually isn't that hard. Any good auto parts store you buy the heater core from will have reducers, either plastic or metal.

I was going to start building a watercooling system (got the MCRES-1000 from Swift-tech already) and I plan to use a heater core, gonna try to fab up an enclosure to mount it to the top of my case. Thinking of doing a blade design, where it is mounted on it's side, vertically. That should look pretty cool and be good for airflow. Anyway, I am moving now so that's gonna have to wait until April or May

I'm using a higher pressured system, lovely 1/4" ID tubing (yea yea yea), so is a heater core still better to use for a high pressured system?

EDIT: Oh, and is there any possible way to go from those 1" fittings on the heater core straight to 1/4"? And if I can't go straight to 1/4" how would you recommend getting there?

What do you mean a "high pressure system" You can buy just about any barb from Lowes.

DrDeville

As one of the Diameter Impaired, I believe he means "skinny tubing".
