radiator replacement
 

What radiators are you guys running? Looking to order one today.. Was thinking about a champion with an electric fan. I will be running a 355/4l60 combo.

Re: radiator replacement
 

I used a Champion from an eBay vendor. Great price and plug `n play fit. Integrated oil cooler but I left them plugged cuz I run a T5.

Re: radiator replacement
 

I put a us radiator in mine and it bolted in perfect. Have not started truck after install.

Champion here as well

Re: radiator replacement
 

Not to hijack but which size did you go with? 3 or 4 core? I don't think the 4 cores will work without modifying the lower saddles??

Re: radiator replacement
 

Also Bought the champion from eBay.


I will need to modify the saddles though.

Like the radiator with the side flanges forestb. I to am looking for a radiator. Called Champion and was told an EC284 will fit our trucks but I don't think it has the flanges on the side. I would have asked but i was at work at the time so I will have to call them back. Can any one confirm this or have a part number for a radiator with the side flanges.

what radiator combo's are you guys running with 5.3 and 4L60e

Re: radiator replacement
 

It's good to know US Radiator has a nice unit for these trucks. I have used them in past hot rod builds. :)

Re: radiator replacement
 

Its a 3 core, been running it since 2009.

Re: radiator replacement
 

I made a search of this site in the past and found a lot of us like the one from engeneered cooling products. I bought one too. Great radiator, good price. Ordered it online at speedcooling.com I did have to modify the lower saddles and the top mount is a tight squeeze but other than that no problems, and 20 degrees cooler than before.

Re: radiator replacement
 

Would you mind sending me info of where you had to modify it to fit? We are always trying to improve things, so if we can make anything fit better..we are all for it!

Thanks much

Re: radiator replacement
 

I run the Champion, with electric fan and shroud bought on ebay for the last 3 years, and its been awesome. Never have over heating problems, even on the hottest of days.

Re: radiator replacement
 

What temp is preferable for a 350?

Re: radiator replacement
 

I like 180 +or- a few degress. 200 and up makes me nervous in my climate.

Re: radiator replacement
 

Lots and lots of opinions. Anywhere from 180-210 is what I find. Run my 327 at 195 for what it's worth.

Re: radiator replacement
 

Griffin radiator and Lincoln Mark VIII electric fan...I like about 180 degrees

Re: radiator replacement
 

Will painting them black effect the radiator any?

Re: radiator replacement
 

Not if you use the eastwood radiator paint..it is thin enough to go on there without affecting the cooling

85 corvette radiator with dodge intrepid fans. You will have to fab mounts.

Re: radiator replacement
 

we make made in the USA aluminum radiators, using domestically sourced materials. Each unit is TIG welded by hand, and we NEVER use epoxy or plastic in our rads. You can see feedback from customers on this forum, and ours are a direct fit and we never charge for building them to accommodate engine conversion (ie: no extra cost for LS ports, steam port, or built in trans cooler). We also offer a discount for forum members!!
