Cold Case for my 63

[Pirate83]

I did a search of the forums and couldn't find anything for installing a Cold Case Radiator in a 63-66. Looking to hear feedback from some peeps who have done this. I am looking buying this kit:

If anyone has done this swap, please let me know I will be buying this in the next week if I don't hear something convincing.

Thanks all!

I bought a 700hp-rated Champion Rad for my '61 which has been awesome, but no Cold Case experience. I'm sure they are all the same, and if it's "made to fit" it will work dandy whatever you choose.

Buy the biggest rad they make; you can never have too much rad.

Just wanted to update yall. I got the cold case and my engine is 20-25° cooler now. Great purchase!

Any issues with fitment? Did you use all the same brackets as stock?

I had to notch the frame a little and use some ingenuity to alter the top and bottom brackets to support it. I'll post some pictures in a bit.

I bought the cold case "made to fit" on my 65. It did not fit had to modify bottom brackets. Works great.

Pictures would be great. I will be shopping radiators for my '63 in the somewhat near future.

My Champion rad fit perfect, but it's neither a Cold Case, nor a '63.
