Detailed Product Description

The Global Parts radiator part number 2987C is engineered to meet the cooling demands of Pontiac GTO vehicles. Its aluminum core ensures efficient heat exchange, while the plastic tanks provide resistance against corrosion and wear. The radiator features a cross flow design, which promotes better coolant circulation and heat dissipation compared to down flow types. With 64 fins every 4 inches, the radiator maximizes airflow through the core, enhancing cooling efficiency.

This radiator also integrates a transmission oil cooler, which is essential for maintaining optimal transmission temperatures during operation. The quick connect fittings simplify installation and maintenance, with a fitting diameter of 0.37 inches and an 11.5-inch distance between fittings to match factory specifications. The single core row design balances cooling capacity with compact size, making it suitable for the Pontiac GTO's engine bay.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or leaking radiators in Pontiac GTO vehicles
