Bought a 26' 4-row Champion awhile back and it runs ice cold.

I guess if I sat on a big meaty burnout for about 1/2 hour it might start getting warm.

:rofl:

:iagree:  always had good luck with Champion.

Hey guys,

About Champion radiators, how do you chose the hose reference?
I would like to change my superior hose for something looking original and not flexible, but i am a bit lost with the rockauto list....

Thanks.

I think I am finally going to replace my 22 inch rad with a 26. I have the support piece adapter but don't want to tear into it that far. Thought I would cut and weld just the flange part on the pass side to widen the opening. What have you guys done to install a larger rad? Also did the drivers side mounting get moved? I am not dealing with an original car here so open to any mods. Thanks.

Too bad your so far away from me. I have a 26"radiator from Roseville "Dave" that I don't think i'll  be using. .never even opened the box!

Shipping would hurt. I'll eventually order local and try to save on shipping.
I ended up getting my 22 inch rad tanked/cleaned and flow checked. I'ts good to go for another year. That should give me time to cr.p or get off the pot and finally upgrade to a larger system. Thanks.

I put a 26" us radiator in mine about 5 yrs ago, looks stock and does a good job

Guscuda how many rows did the core have and did it have brackets to mount a shroud? Thanks.

When you a replacement radiator make sure it says Oem replacement.That means it will bolt up exactly like an original radiator and the shroud will bolt to the radiator correctly.I have done 2 of the 26 inch radiator conversion kits.

My 26 inch us radiator is a three core, and if I remember correctly it did not come with any mounts. I just used my existing mounts, it did require a little "coaxing" though.

I believe you can make a c body one fit with alittle bit of work if you have one kicking around
