    This radiator too big?
    « on: March 01, 2010 - 06:57:14 PM »
    Is this too big...sizewise for a '72 barracuda with a power bulge hood. It is by Entropy, I have researched them and customers on different muscle forums seem to really like them.

    The radiator is 29" wide with the brackets x 22" high. Seems like it might be tight, whaddya think?

    It says if your not sure to ask.  I'd ask about those measurements. See how wide it is at the flanges. If the bulk of it fits,Just notch the mounting flanges at the frame. Looks nice!

    Yeah I "asked" since it is aftermarket and he just replied again with the measurements. The fans are Spal HP. It's not OEM looking but it sure is sweet looking. I am not great at fabrication and just didn't want to have to jack with the radiator support if I don't have to.... :bricks1:

    It looks good and Spal makes a great fan. The only issue I see might be if your car only has the 22" opening in the radiator core. That is sized for 26 so a lot of it and the flow area around it will be blocked by sheet metal.

    I ended up buying one from Champion on Fleabay. The guy is super nice and has over 6400 feedbacks 100% positive. Some members on other forums have them and say they are a great fit and the quality is very nice. He guarantees fit and finish 100% or your money back including shipping. I snagged one with an aluminum shroud and two 12'' 1400 cfm electric fans for $359  :money:. I think that is a great price. I'll let you know more when it comes in.
