Aluminum radiator suggestions

[Joseph_siller]

Looking for a solid but affordable radiator for my 73. Anyone have any suggestions. Don't want to just buy a cheap one

Three Champions so far and no issues..

I think you can still buy Blem Champions off of eBay at fairly good prices. They're brand new, just have a sloppy or ugly weld somewhere that didn't pass quality control so they're sold cheap on eBay instead of shipped to their retailers.

I bought mine off E-Gay and I couldn't find any blemishes on any of them.

I got one on ebay, around 200 bucks. Seemed cheap for an aluminium unit but it looks, fits and works very well.

I've bought from Fleabay before, and it was a solid unit. I'm loving these derogatory names.

Read the post below before you get one. You might be able to spend $20 more for a larger radiator. Also, you might think about putting one in from I believe a mid 80's Diesel Suburban that has an oil cooler built into it as well.

I like my Griffin. It was less the 300 from Summit. It was a direct fit for my Chevelle and now it will be in the truck. I have a Mishimoto from a 6.7 power croak but the class I want to run doesn't allow radiators in the bed. Now I gotta rob the rad off my run stand(the griffin)

+1 for griffin. Running them on 2 projects - sbc and an LQ9 no issues.

I have a summit racing branded aluminum radiator in my 91 k1500 with a shroud fan and wiring it was it was 300 or so. I think just the radiators run from about 160 to 200 depending on the size you need (universal fit so you would need to know what size you need and what not).
