New Aluminum Radiator

[MIKEs50Chevy]

I've been running a Champion from Ebay for over a year, with no issues. I'd buy it again. The only complaint that I can even come up with is that it's been tough to keep looking nice if it gets water spots on it. I've tried aluminum cleaners and they don't seem to help. But I like it overall for sure!

Hey Sparky, rather than replacing my radiator, do you think having a local radiator shop add a trans cooler to my radiator is a realistic option?

I would say a better option would be a stand alone trans cooler with integral fan. B&M Racing have some really nice stand alone units.

Polish it up and shoot some clear on it.

I also got mine from American Eagle, ebay. Just got the engine running,so not on the road yet, but fit and quality seem to be ok. My only problem was after hooking up the trans cooling lines had a small leak, the aluminum is soft and a little crank later I stripped one of the threads. Took it to a cylinder head shop that could do tig and had two barbed fittings put in. Be carefull tightening...
