Try Glen-Ray Radiators. 800-537-3775. He's not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Bought the ECP radiator with fans, shroud and electrical kit today. Will post after installation to see how it all works.
 
Strange observance on my part is that I have seen 1971 Cuda's with both the overflow nipple on the top of the radiator facing the passenger side and others facing the driver side but with all having the overflow return container on the passenger side. How is it routed when facing the driver side? Under/over/across the radiator?

Maybe should have read this thread before: http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=116552.0

The radiator is awesome, the only problem was the fans were extremely under rated for it. My new fans just arrived I will put them in tonight and try again.   Results to follow

Warning: Do not buy from this company also known as Entropy Radiators and other names on ebay.

The radiator they sent me was about 1/2 to 1 inch too tall so the brackets did not line up because it bottoms out on the front valance. The bracket on the passenger side is shorter so does not use the bottom screw position on that side.

The overflow tube is facing the driver side instead of the passenger side (not a deal breaker).

When it first arrived it looked like a work of art but unfortunately their customer service is very much lacking. Frank hung up on me when I asked for a UPS return label. If they send me a radiator that does not fit then they should pay the shipping back.
Frank suggested I drill and modify the brackets to fit and could not understand why I would prefer a direct fit as promised. The Champion fit perfectly so why can't theirs?

They talk a good game but when it comes to doing the right thing it is a different story.

Anyway will keep you guys posted on further developments.

Final update: After filing a successful complaint with my credit card company ECP Radiators finally sent UPS to pick up their radiator.
