I know many here like the champion radiators, but I was wondering about these here? Anyone used them?

I just know ive been racking my brains trying to figure out which radiator to get. I have the 440 in my dart with the original 318 radiator which has a 17x22 inch core size and need a little better cooling. I want to make the right decision on which one so i dont have to return it so need something that will indeed fit in there. Im wondering if one of the 26 inch core aluminums will bolt right in place of the factory 22 inch..I have 29" between the inner fenders..

You might ask one of the eBay sellers to measure the total width of their 26 incher & how wide the lateral side flat flange is on each side as you possibly can trim em in for fitment with the widest rad that will fit inbetween your frame rails. EDIT your rad support may be blocking some of the fin area on each side but I would still want to get the widest rad in there that I could.
