I was just looking and measuring the area I have for a radiator. I have a lot of moving stuff around to fit a large cross flow in there. trans cooler and lines will have to be moved. It would be easiest if I could make a down flow work. Who is wizard? Down flow will work very well. If your core support was for a 22 inch radiator you will have to cut it up a bit to get a 26 inch in there. You are always better off with the biggest radiator you can fit in there.

Wizard cooling. Good products but a little more expense. Be careful. That wizard radiator is the EXACT same radiator as the ECP. EXACTLY the same just more money. It is the exact same drawing. It even has the overflow going the wrong way just like the ECP.

looking at the pictures I thought the very same thing. I'm gonna call them in a bit here just to pick there brain. A friend of mine has a wizard in a dart with a 440 SB and he cant say enough good about it. hes very happy. It is a 2 row down flow. Check it out and see what they say. The Wizard is more than double the price for what appears to be the very same thing from EPC. Your friend may be pissed when and if he finds out he could have paid less than half for the same thing. FWIW and IIRC there are very few companies actually building aluminum radiators. Most of these guys are buying kits from China and are welding them up. Some even have the balls to say made in USA on the stuff. Some stuff is China made China welded. Always verify and cross check everything and everyone.

just got off the phone with wizard. They think they can get it done with a 22" core down flow but with 1.25 tube upgrade. They are probably right about that. It would make it easier to mount if the car has a 22 inch core support rather than try and cut and for a 26 in there. Bigger tube is always better. How much is the rad with the upgrade.

I have one now and i was not that impressed. Fittings are on wrong sides. For sale with an electric fan. The ecp was 500 with the 1.25 tube up grade. Fittings on the wrong side?? Well order the correct rad from them with the fittings on the correct side. My tubes are like 1", maybe 1.25" didn't measure them. No upgrades here. From the looks of the ECP and the Wizard, they look equally cheap as well. No way, I'm paying $600 for any of those. Other posters stated they are exactly the same rad.???? Glad you haven't bought anything yet. Your doing Good by doing your research.
