I am going to call and order mine 1st thing in the morning. Hopefully we get a price down to $180 because they are only $220 online with shipping.

Just ordered mine!

3 row radiator, fan and thermostat/relay system. I already have one of their shrouds.

How good is the fan setup, is it a puller, and does it fit with the serp setup? That is a very tight area!!

I can't speak from first hand experience but it moves 1900 cfm which is a good amount of air should have no issues as far as that it is a pusher/puller depending on how you wire it as for spacing not sure it 3 5/16" thick so I would say it should fit as the Taurus fan is about that thick if not thicker and I have seen it fit in there

Just talked with ledfoot and we bought 20 radiators total so final price was $175 plus shipping. Thanks for all those who got in on this glad I could save some of us some money.

Just got the invoice from Ledfoot. Looks like we got the $175 price!

Just a word of caution about these radiators, or it appears ANY aluminum radiator really, a lot of failures have occurred because of how they are mounted. From what people have told me, you don't want them too rigidly attached. This goes for ANY aluminum radiator, not just the champions.

I have been told that as your body flexes your core support flexes as well, and if your radiator is too rigidly attached it forces that flex into your radiator. The rubber bushings in the mounts not only act as a vibration dampener, but allows for your core support to flex without distorting your radiator. You want the radiator free floating as much as possible, and you don't want your radiator hoses tugging on it heavily either.

I've installed a champion radiator on my dads jeep that he has run down in AZ for years and it has performed flawlessly. My brother installed one on his chevelle with a 454 and it sprang a small leak around the top seam in short order.

My 2cents - Careful of your install.

Thanks badmuttsang for putting this together!

My current radiator while still doing the job, has been pinched and sealed several times and is held together with JBWeld.

Mine arrived today...like Xmas in July

Of course mine decides to spring a leak on 7/4!!! Everyone pleased with the radiators? I was thinking about getting this one at $150 (shipping included):

http://m.ebay.com/itm/190782164256?cmd=VIDESC&gxo=true

But never dealt with this company before. Anyone have any input?

Got mine yesterday and love the look yet to install it so can't say anything about how good it is but I went with this one because it has been used by several members with really good results. I got a bonus when I opened my box up though and not sure if its because I set up the mass buy but I got the polished version no extra charge.
As for the one you listed on eBay it looks really close to the same as the champion one but when I was importing parts I had the chance to buy several different aluminum radiators for are broncos and they are all not the same. I looked into quality issues and champion was one of the best as far as made in China. So just beware you may have issues if not with the radiator you might with the seller if you need to warranty it.

Thanks Bad,

Good points, I may go with the Champion. Hate I missed the buy though.
