    aluminum radiator
    « on: March 12, 2014 - 11:27:27 PM »
    I am getting my 1970 challenger r/t back together. thinking of changing the radiator. I would like a bolt in one, not to be welding or making brackets for it. 22" core with both inlet and outlet on the drivers side. no trans. cooler.. which one and where to get it? thanks..

    Howe radiators had one for $200.  They then modified it to be just like my stock one for $50 more.  This was 10 years ago.
    Very satisfied with product.  Summit has good deals.

    I have a Champion 3 core with a stock shroud that bolted right on. Needed no modifications. Keeps my 440 cool just fine.

    I bought mine at advance auto store . It was $180.00 and looked just like the original. It was not aluminum but was an exact fit and came painted black.
