Re: raditor

I have never heard of that outfit and when I looked it up all I found was a definition.

Re: raditor

Some searching shows that they are part of Speed cooling products and their Chevy truck radiator is pretty well the same one I have from Engineered cooling products. The radiators are built in the same building but it looks lik the Entropy are probably built to order while the engineered cooling are production line.

Their web page https://entropyrad.com/

ECP / Speed cooling page https://ecp-radiator.com/

I'm thinking that most likely The ECP radiators are made in China while the Entropy radiators are hand made by a small highly skilled crew and you do pay the price for it. Still their radiator is in the price range of a US radiator,

The welding on my radiator while plenty solid is not what you would want on a top level show truck. Reading Entropy's about us page, theirs should be high level show quality.

Re: raditor

I bought one to go inside the radiator support for stock 51 truck with LS 2 conversion plumbing, but have not installed it yet. I’ like that it was American made (even though more expensive) hopefully a high-quality piece.
I bought it with electric fan and shroud installed by them and pretty sure I will have room from my measurements.
They will talk to you and walk you through what you need if you call them.
