Anyone recomend a good one? My car runs 195 down the road and will hit 210 at idle on hot days with the fan running.

I run a BeCool with no problems. Be sure to have a shroud

I used the Champion Radiator from a guy here on Moparts. I used the 4 core and the Ford contour electric fans on my Roadrunner and Challenger. Yesterday our air temp here got to 101 degrees. I had my Roadrunner out all day and it stayed ay 185 degrees with a 180 T-stat.

i have a champion 4 core in my wagon. on power tour last year, highest temp i saw was 205 after sitting on pavement for near an hour without moving. most of the time, it sits dead at thermostat temp.

Griffin, Be Cool, Ron Davis.... All very nice stuff if you have a liquid cooled wallet.. For most of us Chamion & Afco do fine..

I have a four core Champion in my Bee. Engine is a 512 wedge. I took it on a 200 mile trip yesterday in 105 degree temps, driving on the Interstate, two lane mountain roads and town traffic. I had the AC on the whole trip. The engine temp stayed between 195 and 200 the whole trip, except for one time when it went to 210 going up a steep hill on a two lane in the mountains following some clown for 6 miles that wouldn’t go over 20 mph. I have duel LX cooling fans. Average speed on the interstate was between 70-80 mph.

The wizard I got for my gen 3 swap looks like great quality and also pretty wild with the 4 fan setup. Not cheap though, but I wasn't about to risk my new drive-train on a cheap price.

Anyone try the muscle car radiator Mancini Racing sells? I wonder who makes them. I like the somewhat factory look.

I used the American Eagle radiator made by Champion off of Ebay for my 360/904 combo. $159.95 plus shipping for a 22" 2 core with 1" tubes. What a difference in cooling over the old factory 22" 2 core!
