Did you put that 28" with in an A body? Curious to how well it fit. How big are the tanks? between the frame rails it is 29" with the lip removed at the top of the rail, the core is approx 1/2 wider ( 1/4" per side) than the opening, that a is un cut core support opening and it was a origional slant 6 car if that makes a difference in the core support, the one I ordered was 555-52018, the info says Ford but it is Ford/Chrysler and also it has NO trans cooler built in but does have a bung for a drain petcock, I am building upper and lower mounts like I have done for the other one that was in the car I think side mounts could be made also.

Is that 19 X 31 a 26 inch core?
I don't run a shroud. The fan is close enough to the radiator to not need one. The actual core 18.5 x 28 The 31, is to the outside of the cross flow tanks. And IMO, doesn't matter how close your fan is to the rad, It could benefit from a shroud.

I have a brand new A body/small block ECP radiator with dual fans and controller I'd be willing to sell. No coolant went through it. Didn't work for my particular application (don't ask, nothing to do with the radiator) so I ended up going back to my old rad and modified that instead of cutting up a new one. I was gonna send it back but never did, just sitting in my garage. ECP rad. Fan controller

Anyone have a linc to the guy that sells champion radiators on here. Cant find his ad. I didn't think the champions were cross flow. If you google champion radiators he comes up. IIRC he's in California.

I'm alittle afraid of that one all thou I'm not totally afraid of the double pass with 55 gal water pump. I'm currently waiting for a price from champion on a double pass just to see. its just so tempting to get a $150 crossflow, which might be enough. I'm not a big fan of the cross flow and like I said, not a big fan of the multiple pass radiators. Stewart may not have been totally correct with the 16 times more pressure number but I'd bet it's not that far off. You don't need pressure to cool the engine you need flow. Making the coolant travel further decreases flow. That is always bad. Just hate to see you spend your money twice. I'd call some coolant people and see what they say.

I had a 22" factory radiator in my 70 426 hemi cuda that would creep up in warm weather and traffic and replaced it with a 22" 3 row champion and it stays cool now. Fit was good only had to drill 1 lower hole. Mike
