Radiator replacement

Has anyone installed a copper brass radiator lately? Parts stores seem to have one for a C20 454. Reviews state they are not direct fit but do work.

G, I know you like the stock replacement big block radiators but the aluminum ones are getting cheap. Have you looked at any of the two or three row Champion radiators on ebay?

Re: Radiator replacement

I got one for my C20 454 online about 3 years ago and picked it up locally. It was copper and brass. The brand was ReadyRad. I did develop a small leak after about one year but I had that fixed locally. Price was about $140? I would do a google search.

Re: Radiator replacement

Champion Radiator is $299 with free shipping. Ouch. A diesel radiator may be an option too. However, adapting my electric fans to it may be problem.
