$159 plus $29.95 shipping bought on Ebay. 22" radiator 2 core 1" tubes they say is good for up to 600hp. Quality is great for $159.00!!! Should cool my 350hp+ Duster 360 fine.
Funny thing is it looks like a direct bolt in for my 1970 Duster with a later 360 motor. May have to slot or redrill holes but I don't think so when placing the radiator on top of mine in the car plus took some quick measurements. They don't list it as fitting a 1970 Duster but of course my setup is different than original.
1970 FE5 Duster 360/904/3.91's SOLD
1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD
Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.

Radiator went in fine but did have to redrill both top holes slightly and use a drilled hole instead of lower slot on drivers side. So three holes used the original location and one was a new location. It may just have been due to my cross braced being dented/bent alittle. I think if it was straight the radiator would have dropped down more to the 3/8" to 1/2" needed for everything to line up. No big deal unless you want a drop in bolt up and go radiator. Also cut the lower hose back 1" due to the thicker radiator and slightly longer lower nipple. Still though installation was easy with no issues that couldn't be overcome. Took about 2 hrs as I'm kinda slow at my age.

You'd think that after hearing this from what seems like 75% of the people that have bought American Eagle/Champion/whatever, radiators, the company would get off their butt and do something about it!
