Yeah, I saw this on ebay and was wondering the same thing. One thing I did notice is some of the other companies recommend 1.25" rows for big blocks, but I would think it's got to be better than my stock one. I've seen a couple of other for $299, but the size wasn't right.

If you guys are wanting drop-in replacement aluminum radiators hi-po style, I can get them for you at $273 plus shipping. The supplier I go through offers them with 2 one-inch rows, louvers and fittings for extreme duty and all seams are welded-not soldered. Dimensions are 26 & 1/8 x 17 & 3/8" x 2 1/4". There is a lesser expensive option which lists the core size at 20 3/4" x 17 3/8" x 2 1/4" as well and I can sell them for $259 plus shipping. They claim anywhere from 25-75% improved cooling. I can get pretty much ANYTHING aftermarket through my vendors so email me if you have needs. [email protected] -Jabin

I ordered the same radiator from Hotrods USA. See the link below. I am happy with the looks of the construction but the car isn't running yet so I can't comment on the cooling. I am replacing a re-built 4 core copper rad.

I purchased a Spal Dual 11" fan assm. and the Spal electronic controller. Once the fan was delivered I decided I had room for the 12"...I called Unerversal...they had no problem with the exhange and got the new one in the mail to me ASAP. Also; got the stuff pretty quick! I'm very happy with their service.

I bought from universal. Radiator, shroud with dual 11" spal fans and spal controller. Fast shipping, well packaged, and good customer service along with a good looking product. It went into my 73 camaro.I like this radiator, incoming side too hot to touch like any radiator at operating temp., but you can lay your bare hand on the outgoing side at operating temp. and it is cool to the touch.

i bought a radiator from univpart too and i'm very happy with the quality and the price!

just minor modifications to install it. i just take off the fan shrould cause it needed too much cut to adapt well.
