Re: Champion radiator questions

i to went with the champion radiator from champion. for about 100.00 extra they moved the upper hose locaton to the left side and added a steam port. i am running a ls3 and they suggested the 3 row, i went with there shroud but they said if i wanted a nice fan to go with one of the main manufacturers of high performance fans.lifetime warranty except i will have to pay for the custom work. total bill i think was about 510.00 delivered, it looks good

I haven't decided what to do with the steam line yet but I was thinking of a fitting inline of the upper radiator hose. The warrenty you speak of might be worth spending the extra to get it right from them.

Re: Champion radiator questions

if your buying a new radiator I would just add the steam port to it...much nicer setup than adding it in the hose or into the water pump...

Re: Champion radiator questions

I have an American Eagle in my '57 pickup. It has a 305 TPI engine and Vintage Air A/C. I had cooling issues when I used a shroud mounted single 16" fan. However, when I modified the shroud and went to dual 11" high flow Spal fans, it solved the issues.
