Aluminum Radiators, where did u buy yours?

For those running aluminum raditors what brand is it? Are you happy with it?
I have a Mancini aluminum 26 inch in the road runner and I am very happy with it. I am now looking to buy one for the demon, which is a 22 inch radiator support and hoping it will cool the hemi.

I bought a 26" Champion 3 core for my Charger (mild 440) and it seems to run COOL so far.... but it ain't summer here yet!

Mine was the affordable Summit unit for "Ford". Fit nicely and cooled just fine!

26 in Wizard with dual Spal fans, no problems cooling a 560 HP 493 with air.

I have bought 2 Wizard Cooling Radiators both 22" one for a Scamp I had and the other For my Duster, they bolt right in and accept the factory fan shroud. Top notch workmanship on their radiators.

I got a 26" 2-row Champion from a guy on here, JonGottaDemonDad.

I am also in the wizard camp. It was more expensive than some but well worth it in fit and finish. The stock shroud bolted right up.

Champion 2 row for my 65 dart from an eBay seller in Tustin California. $169.95 & free shipping. It'll be here tomorrow or thurs. His chart said direct fit . Nipples are in the correct locations.

Mine is an Afco that I bought from Mancini. It works good. Ron

I was a little paranoid about cooling. Went with 4secondsflat and ordered the dual pass. had to have the brackets welded on once I figured out where they needed to be. Am very happy with the cooling.
but having both inlet and outlet on the same side is a bit bad, and no transmission cooler.

Though I have learned to live with both. The first because I swapped engines and got over it, the second because a lot of people don't recommend using the coolers built into rads anymore anyway.

Wizard Cooling radiator in mine. Works great.

Recently installed a Griffin 26" radiator with 1 1/4" tubes. Very happy with it except that when I received it, it had scratches on the top, one deep. That to me is inexcusable. I guess their quality control ain't so good.

Chamion from the guy selling them on here in the parts section.
I got 2 four core radiators from him. One for my 512 Challenger and 1 for my 493 Roadrunner. Both are using Ford Contour electric fans we've only reached 90 degrees here so far but both are staying cool.

I have two cars with Ron Davis radiators. Both work very well but for what they cost they should.

My northern works great in front of a stroked small block.

I put a Champion in my Cuda and my Challenger. The Cuda stays cool even in heavy traffic at over 90 degrees outside here in South Alabama and I drive it 70+ miles a day to and from work.

Both fit perfectly and ya cant beat them for the price IMO. I wouldnt call them "show quality", but they look good enough for a normal car.

Champion Radiators

I ordered a wizard last week, not cheap but from what I have seen well worth it. A good buddy of mine runs one so he did the beta for me.

A buddy of mine here purchased a Champion for his 70 Charger. Drove it down to Hot August Nights in Reno last summer. It was scorching hot out. I believe he's got 3.91's, 440 tunnel ram. Engine stayed cool the whole trip.

Mancini "Muscle Car" top tank aluminum for me. It cools a warm 496 wedge with AC just fine.

Another vote for Champion. Have it in a 68 charger with a small block stroker and A/C.

So are all of these different names just a rebox?

I believe the Mancini "Muscle Car" radiator is made by a small shop in Michigan. Not re-boxed.
