Be Cool Radiators
Has anyone put a be cool direct fit radiators into a 60-62 Chevy? It says it is for a 62 but it doesn't look like it at all.
Also I have seen a lot of people using champion radiators. Are the people that have installed them happy? |

Re: Be Cool Radiators
I ran a champion 3 row in my old truck which had a mild 455 olds in it, before it would run at 220 pulling a grade with no load after I put the champion in there I never saw it go over 180, i ran a 60-62 radiator in a 66 because i wanted to bolt it in, not have it wedged in place i had to cut my crossmember to drop it down otherwise it would have bolted right in to the shroud holes. If I could go back I would get the 2 row because on a cold day with the heater on it would sometimes run at 150 or lower. I was on the site recently and that radiator did look strange but unless they changed the design it should fit. Also if you are looking for a 60-61 chevy or gmc hood i have one of each and am willing to give them away message me if interested.

Re: Be Cool Radiators
I have a Champion cooling my BB. it gets to 220 in traffic but I am not running a shroud yet. Other then that it will run 190 to 210. It fit right in because my truck was orginally a V8 truck.

Re: Be Cool Radiators
I have a champion\American Eagle. It cools my LSx very well and they have lifetime warranty. they are not customizable, they come like they come.
Knowing that and if I had to do it all over again, I would buy one of from these guys.. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=591690 These guys are board supporting vendors, american made and you can get them just about anyway you could imagine. Check them out!

Re: Be Cool Radiators
In one of Sparky's last posts, he said that he's working on a crossflow prototype. That would be really cool, figuratively speaking.
