How I can change the radiator in my 1969 Chevrolet Corvette?

you have a good response so far, but his is a vette and are only a little harder to do then any other GM car put out, one is to make the radiator is installed in an angel, but here's how, drain radiator and remove the recovery and the upper radiator hose, if this is not an L88 then you have a fan shroud, but the L88 does not have one, if this is not the L88 will have a bracket holding deflector radiator cover and you'll see the screws on the top, remove the bolt for the radiator not the cloth that you'll have to remove and put in the new radiator and leave a bit like the cover just sets in a channel in the bottom onces out their housing let crash on the fan then remove the lower hose and if it is an automatic transmission eliminate transmission lines, cooling and simply connect the line back that is the bottom one then there are two support brackets upper radiator with two screws in each, and now just left it up slow. if you can call around find a radiator shop that recore your radiator, I just had one done and only cost me $ 80.00 to have recored. When putting this in a radiator only establishing a channel with two rubber feet on each side make sure they are in place and in good shape, then screw the brackets back then the lower pipe and transmission lines, then the tube housing and recovery, and then the top tube and the fact but I'd like to think replacing the t-statistic to do this, because it can save you drain some of the reverse antifreeze instead. one more thing if it is an auto trans check your trans fluid as you just get the radiator, so you just lose a little trans fluid that and they share the engine and transmission has had time to heat check it befor. hope that helps
