Thanks will look into that , I seen a Champion on ebay but the water pump ( or lower hose nipple ) outlet is on the passenger side , I need it on the drivers side , have an aluminum pump housing and do not want to change it . They claim they cannot change it due to they do not make them just sell them . Gary

got one for my 65 from 4 seconds flat.
dual pass, so you need to pick both inlet and outlet would be on the same side.

Bought this from Mancini for my 63 Sport Fury. It is an Afco rad and cost me $349. Ron

Thanks for the info Ron , looks like it fits very well . How well does it cool ? Mine is a drag car so I start from the gage being at zero but warm , by the time I get through staging lanes & burnout and make a pass I'm pushin 160 degrees . So I'm hoping this will help tremendously . I run eight mile , 6.50's 103 mph . Gary

Looks like you have a nice set-up ! Do you know where I can get the zip ties that go through the radiator for my fan ?

It cools just fine. Course mine is a street car and I drive it to the track. On hot summer days it is about 180 when I get to the track. It never goes over 180 even when racing and I only need to turn the electric fan on when stuck in traffic for a bit of time. But it sounds like you got a great deal on the rad you bought. Good luck with it. Ron
