Champion Radiators anygood?

Who's running a Champion Radiator, What do you think of it?

yep... good...

lol thanks

I am keeping my eye on this thread. Was thinking about this one with 3 cores. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

or this one with 4 cores. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/70-71-72-...sQ5fAccessories

If you are running a A-body with 70 and up aluminum water pump you can't use the stock fan shroud. And the upper water neck is close to the centerline of a mechanical fan. So you will need a fan 2" smaller diameter than the MP fan package if you want a mechanical fan. And you'll need to make your own shroud.

I bought a three core 26" one from on Ebay earlier this year. I had to send the first one back because it was pretty twisted; about two inches diagonally. The second one was twisted as well but only slightly so I used it. I had to redrill all mounting holes, as well as the shroud mounting holes. Other than that, it works fine. Cools well on my '70 Challenger with warmed 360 and A/C.

Was going to go with a BE COOL but the translines run to the side of them and I don't know what I would use to get my lines to go up there.

Theres one in my moms barracuda. Had to redill the mounting holes and we dont run a shroud on there. Car stays cool with a mild 360

I have a 2-row 26" one in my 74 318 Valiant. It cools just fine even in traffic when it was 90+ degrees out. I bought it from a seller on here. The install was fairly straight forward. The trans cooling lines had to be bent by hand a little bit, I had to drill mounting holes in the aluminum of the rad, and would have had to modify it slightly for a shroud. Overall it was very easy to install and worth it and it cools better than the old one even without a shroud.

we bought ours for angies challenger 3 core with dual 10 fans
havent got the motor fired up yet but it fit very nice
all holes lined up perfict even the shroud holes lined up
i need to buy a 4 core for my cuda but havent bit the bullit yet
only thing i can complain about is there was no male pigtail to go with the female wireing on the fans but other then that very happy with it

I have the three row 26" model of that one. I had to make a seal from closed cell foam to seal the top and bottom of the shroud to the radiator.It had about 1/2" to 3/4"gap,but fit flush on the sides. Other than that it works great. I run a 7 blade factory clutch fan and a factory shroud.Overall it was a pretty good deal for the money,lots cheaper than some of the other options out there.

Thanks for the Opinion guys keep em coming, It's going in a 73 dodge dart some I am hoping there wont be that much modification needed.

have a 4 row in my Challenger, seems to do the job...

I put a 3 row in my 1970 Satellite back in May. I went on the complete HotRod Powertour without any problems...running the A/C!! I would highly recommend Craig to purchase one from. It did need a little modification but was worth it in the cost savings compared to the BeCool.

No problems here. Keeps my stroked magnum cool.

Have one in my 68 Charger and it keeps my 408 magnum stroker cool with A/C. Not sure how it would do with a big block though.

Just ordered one, Thanks for the reviews.

Bought three over the years..best bang for the buck

Can't run an 18" flex fan with one?
