I have one in my 69 bee cooling a 511 wedge with AC. Saturday it was 95 here and it never got above 200 degrees with the AC on. On the highway cursing at 75 it held at 180 with the AC on.
What size and how many rows you running in your dodge?? Bolt right in, shroud fit. Thnx!!

Its the cursing at 120 that real road rage occurs. Could not help chuckliing at your, I am sure, inadvertent mispelling. Craig

It is a 3 row 26 inch and it bolted right in. The only thing I don’t like was the cheapo nylon/plastic drain.
Do you mean the petcock? The ad I read said they were OEM Brass

"I just received a Champion Radiator for my 70 Challenger. After reading the reviews on here I was expecting something nice. The one I received is a real piece of junk! The welding and fit up are lousy. The bottom tank is welded on crooked. When I sat the radiator in place the bracket holes are off about 3/8 of an inch. The tank hits the radiator guard before the holes will line up. The add on ebay said that they would replace or refund any radiator that does not fit correctly. Hopefully they can find me a good one." Update: Called the guy Monday morning and explained the problem. He said he would have a new one sent. Today the new one arrived. Unpacked it and it looked much nicer! Unfortunately when I did a test fit I discovered it has a one inch twist to it. Will see what he has to say tomorrow.
