I tried a jegs alum.200.00 radiator.Need to go with a BC to fit with the alterKation.700.00!! :banghead: The Jegs twin 12" fans for 189.00 are awsome!They move more than enough air for my 340. :dunno:    More than the factory IMO.

Anyone tried Flex-a-lite 26" core Radiator with electric fan kit? Looks real nice. But is it hard to install, or is it bolt on?

Don't know anything about it, but from the picture the cap is below the top of the radiator.  Doesn't seem possible to fill it up, the top 2 or 3 rows would only have air in them.

I'm running a 26" Griffin on my 540ci Hemi, Tim Banning recommended and purchased mine on my behalf and shipped it over with my crates. I'll be painting it black so I'll loose a little cooling but from what Tim the builder said heat won't be an issue with this engine. Alloy engine helps too, dissipates heat faster. Can't comment on them but if Tim says it's good, it 's good. ;D

I'm running the 22" Flexalite with my 408.  It has a fantastic mounting system as you can adjust the rad up and down by allowing the t-bolts to slide up and down in the slots.

I'm running a 22" Griffin universial radiator with a swiched electric fan on my 340. Heat is not a problem anymore, I only use the fan when cruising in town on very hot days and if I leave it ideling.

Another option if you want it to drop in, bolt up and look stock.
