Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

I found this while cruisin for parts on my engine build. It's fully aluminum and 3 core, with an auxiliary trans cooler. All the aluminum radiators I've prices are 400-600 bucks so what gives? Is this too good to be true or what?

Thanks guys
Matt

More details

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

Seems like a great deal. I bought my Champion radiator only because of a forum members review after he installed it. I didn't want to risk the radiator needing some fabricating of brackets and wanted to make sure I could use the new reproduction fan shroud I had bought. I bought a Champion 2 core for 67-72 Chevy trucks and I'm very happy with it.

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

I have a Champion in my Z06, and put one in my buddies 67 ford. No regrets, fit was fine.

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

If you get this one....please review it for the rest of us mrturner1....sounds almost too good to be true for that price with free shipping too.

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

Go with the Champion it's already been proven to work and fit correctly ! there only like $229.00 if I remember right ? is it worth your time and effort to not buy the one everyone says works for a few bucks more ? make sure whatever you buy has the Auto trans cooling mounts many lower cost radiators don't .

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

I also got the champion radiator and electric fans and shroud and you can't beat the price. All welded no epoxy. Excellent bang for your buck

Well I couldn't find ANY reviews other than this. Looks like it's rebuilt with not a lot of quality control. It's only one review, but even the yellow paper they sent him that asks about product and service was already filled out for him. It's tempting to chance it for the price, but I think I'll spend the extra 100 bucks and get the Champion 3 core aluminum


EDIT: I can't get the link to work. It's on YouTube under "EBay aluminum radiator fail" sorry guys I'm not computer savvy

Here is the Ebay item # - 252157843020

Several reviews of 3 row aluminum radiators from that seller within the past month. All positive except one that was damaged during shipping.

May pick one up for my '69 GTO for a spare. Know they are compatible because I installed one from my Pontiac stash in my '69 c10 a few months back.

It's probably fresh off the boat from China.

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

I used a Champion CC369, 3 core all aluminum radiator. Fits great, cools great, looks great. Other members had positive reviews of the EC369, which is the 2 core equivalent, so that is why I bought it. $227 shipped to my door from Jegs. I plan on buying another one when the 68 needs a new radiator.

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

I just got the new Jegs flyer...The EC369 for 67-72 GM trucks w/28" core is listed for $175.99 w/ free shipping. Has anyone used this radiator & does it fit the stock rad. brackets top & bottom without modification ??
This is listed as a 2-core good for 400 HP.

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

I have that radiator. It is excellent. It really is a nice radiator that's cool very well and fits perfect.

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

Are you guys using stock 4 row brackets?

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

I have an ebay special 2 row aluminum radiator in my rig. It's worked perfectly, even in stop and go traffic in 90 degree heat.

I did have to use 4 row top and bottom radiator brackets.

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

I was able to reuse the standard brackets. The 4 core brackets were way to big for this 2 core Champion radiator. I just shaved the rubber cushions down a bit.

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

Has anyone used one in a big block? If so and what is the part number?

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

Rockauto spectra premium for me..............

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

This is the one I bought! $155.00 free shipping!
It works good. I put in last summer with no problems at all.
They had been sold out of them and their E bay store was like $599.00 price but I just checked it and it's back to the regular price.:chevy:

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

Thanks for that info. sduckworth13 !.....this 2 core has the trans cooler also, correct ? Your stepper looks awesome.

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

Your welcome. Yes this does have the ports on the passenger side of the radiator for the transmission lines. I'm eventually going to a 700R4, but have a 4 speed in my truck right now. Thank you for the compliment too.

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

Andy where did you get that nice aluminum peice that goes over the radiator? Got a pic a little further away so you can see the whole thing? Man Andy that truck is cool

Re: Alum radiator GREAT price, tell me what you think
 

I have one of those rads,or close to it lasted about 3 years before it started leaking, I also bought off of ebay, the leak started a day before I was going to crusing the coast,put some K seal in it and it's still good, I think the bottoms are alittle thin in the metal dept.
mine cost me $199
