That's what I have. It's. To bolt in for sure, but for the money it's pretty nice. And it pisses me off the overflow hose comes out the wrong direction but it is what it is.

I will have to do some trimming to get that to fit. They recommended there 22" with the 1.25" tube up grade. Think this bigger radiator would be just as good? Its about $300 less. I'm sure someone can do the math but it's probably close. I have cooled 550 HP engines on a stock 26 inch radiator in desert heat. That had just 2 half inch cores in it. And, that particular engine had the cast iron water pump (talking small block stuff) which isn't as good as a Milodon water pump. So I know a two .500 core will easily cool 550 HP if everything else is correct. And that engine had about 1 1/2 inches of filler in it. Whatever just over the top of the core plugs is. And that is a copper radiator. Most people say aluminum cools better than copper.

I think it would probably be better then the smaller rad. It has a trans cooler as well. My Howe doesn't have that. It sure is Heavy though at 45#, not sure that's not a typo, but it does include a tranny cooler in the tank.
Love the price, I'm sure you can get that to fit. As per my earlier post, I fitted one bigger in size..

I would look into Cold Case radiators. The Champion radiators I have seen fit well and seem to work but I'm not a fan of radiators with more than 2 cores.
The ECP radiator I have required some modification to fit. I wasn't thrilled I had to drill holes in my core support but I did it.
The Cold Case radiators are said to be a drop in fit.mi would certainly look into them.

I bought the EPC in a 26". Had to do some trimming to fit my A body, but it keeps my 511 with a tall fill 195* most of the time. Highest temp was 205* in 93* humid weather. I fit it with a shroud from jegs and use a mechanical fan. Works great and would buy again.

This will be my new radiator in the spring. Ever since I put the 4.10 gears in the car it runs hot on the highway with the increased RPM's Gus
