If it fits the stock location there is nothing stopping you from making it fit , is there ?
Are you asking if they are setup so a factory shroud can be bolted directly on ???
And if that's the question the answer is yes...I bought the 26 inch B body unit.. it has provisions for it and a shroud will bolt up...Here's the rad with a shroud on it {2nd car in}.. LINK

Below is a pic of the 22" I put in the Dart. It looks correct for the factory shroud but I can't swear to it.
...FAFO...

Attempted to install a Champion in my '72 b-body which is a 26" opening. Could have modified the radiator a little to fit the support but there was NO way the shroud was going to fit. Champion took it back but offered no alternative.

I say Ma Mopar knew what they were doing when they designed this.  If it aint broke, dont fix it! Besides, electric fans are great for racing but seem to have issues on the street. Noisey, electrical drain on the system, burning out on the way to "Cruise Night" not to mention your amps gauge etc..... "Thermostatic" fan clutches use next to no HP when not needed too. more of , so I guess thats my four cents worth. Still wont buy a cup of coffee

Thanks for the aphorism, but there is no radiator or fan to begin with.

Did you get the 2 row, 3 row or 4 row radiator? Was it their line that is specifically for b bodies?

It was a Champion specific radiator, 3 core. The frame was so far off from fitting the shroud I really believed they had shipped the wrong one. When I contacted the guy (forgotten his name) he did not try to investigate it he just said send it back, in which I did. I still need a radiator.

If you have a 500 inch motor, I would highly reccomend a Wizard Cooling radiator. It will use a stock shroud. I would not use electric fans. I had dual Spals that could not keep my 512 cool. I would use the Wizard, stock shroud, Jag clutch fan and five blade fan. I just changed to this and am so happy I did. Have heard some not so good stuff on champion. Wizard quality is what I think we are all after. BTW I did 1.25 tubes. Do it once!! Mike
