Has anyone heard of this company or used this type of radiator on their car? Thanks!

Honestly, unless I've missed something, they look over priced.  I'm running a Champion 26" radiator and it fit perfectly.  I know others run them too.  They are a lot cheaper.

I have not tried to put a stock shroud on mine as I went with a chrome sroud.

For what is worth, I've contracted with Fred @ Mark 7 Radiators in Bay City, MI to fabricate a unit for my 572 Hemi challenger.  He's done a ton of these and for customers like 'Big Hemi Customs'.  I also feel I need to keep business in Michigan as much as possible since I live here.  Although I don't have the unit yet, it should be done and ready for me to pick up next week.  I can't wait!  scott

Check out Griffen. I put one in my Superbee and it was well worth the $600

The tanks look original unlike the pic of the one you posted. They are aluminum and come on different core thicknesses depending on what you want. They fit perfectly just like original.

The only complaint I had was that they did not have any tabs or brackets on the inside to mount your shroud to. I had to take it to my local welder and have them fix it up. (It was cheaper to pay them $30 than ship it back) I say this so that if you order one, make sure they understand what you need.

I checked other companies first and this radiator was the only one which looked correct (aside from the fact that it is not black)
