I see cheap aluminum radiators ($180 and down) for sale all over the net now especially on ebay. Has anyone here purchased any of these and had much luck? If so which brand did you use? Im needing one for my 70 cuda 340 and a few other cars/trucks i own.

I was asked to contribute money to help solve the civil unrest in Egypt, but I suspect it's some sort of pyramid scheme.

Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I bought one from Oscars on ebay last year. 220.00 or so shipping and all. The fit was not to good for my 73 Road Runner. I did not complain, I just cut on the lower tank and made it fit. the Rad shop charged 80.00 to weld it up after I had it cut and shaped very nicely. I would LOOK closely at what you are getting and the return policy. I would have had 80.00 in shipping and return shipping and still had no radatior If I had retuned it. I have noticed after having mine that some are built better. The neck looks more substancel on some of the other brands. Mine has cooled ok, BUT I have not tryed it with the A/C yet. We'll see this summer!

I just installed one of the Summit radiators. I haven't run it yet, but lots of guys here run their radiators and I've never heard anything bad. The fit and finish was top notch, and it fit like a glove in my car.

I am running one of the summit radiators in my Duster. I've been driving it to work (220+ miles a week since Nov.) and it never gets above 180 deg. It's a 408", 9.9:1 CR, and aggressive hyd roller.

Yep A Summit in the 67 Cuda and the 65
Fury. Ran just fine. The new one for the 71 Cuda
will come from the local speed shop. They get em
cheaper than Summit.

I got this 26" 2 core off of 'bay for $180 shipped. It has the correct mounts and trans line hook-ups. The shroud even bolted right up. Considering shops want $300-400 to do a re-core I'd call it a bargin.

I have the same one as above. I bought it for a driver- nothing show. It fit pretty good for the money, was a little off of square, but did go right in, and the shroud bolted right on. Heck of a deal for the
