Has anyone heard of a KKS motorsports aluminum radiator? They seem like a steal at $203 and free shipping for a 3 core big block radiator. Tim

No experience with KKS, For CHEAP radiators CHAMPION has a good rep.

No disagreement there, I have a vehicle with a champinion, but I was wondering if they used expoxy or were all welded? Looks like it in the photos. Tim

WOW, that is a good deal. I hope someone replies with some info. If I were in the market for a radiator, I think I would try it out.

I bought one that that looks like a champion for under 150 shipped. Lots of good deals pop up if you look around on ebay.

I always try to stay away from sellers that keep their feedback items "private".

How do they do that? You can't sell on epay if you have private feedback.

I bought a 26'' KKS about 2 months ago, but I haven't used it yet. Although I did test fit it and it's perfect in that sense. I will also say that the quality looks great! I compared the Champion and the KKS online. The are priced about the same, but I choose the KKS because the tanks are made to look semi-similar like a brass tank, instead of welded sheets of aluminum. If it looked like a piece of junk, then I would have returned it. Wish I could give you a complete review, but that's all I know at the time.

check the KKS sellers feedback and you will see that he keeps private what he sells on most if his items

I see. Seller says parts are in San Fran but sellers home location is China. Never expected that one. Different rules for ebay in different countries I assume.
