Put a Champion 526 radiator in a 71 swinger?

Thanks for all the info and pics. Very encouraging. I measured both cars for existing and potential. Looks like I have more options than I thought. Don't see much space for clutch fan in any of the pics. Thinking about trying a two row so I can keep the clutch fan. Its supposed to be like over 5000cfm per other's posts. Also have a 16" pusher/puller (not very powerful, no name fan) on the front and an external tranny cooler I would like to keep in the setup. Would like to learn how to wire a relay. The 440 was done for me and it works awesome. looks like a plug and play. Wire runs to ignition but fan runs while car is off until it is 180 degrees by the gage, then shuts itself off. Perfect.
After measuring small block swinger I find that core support has 22" opening. Total width of current slant6 radiator bracket (more bracket than radiator, lol) is 25". Bottom of radiator to top of cap measures 22 1/2" (is there an airflow problem if the next one sits an inch low?). Total height with spacers on radiator cap and still able to shut the hood is 24 1/4" MAX. (do I really want to press down on cap?) Both inlet and outlet on /6 radiator are on passenger side. I do not see a replacement radiator with that configuration. Should not be a big deal re routing the top hose away from the fan. This radiator looks to be the best fit without mods, maybe just drilling holes for the mount. If I am really lucky this period correct 22' core bolts right in. Plus hopefully room for fan in front. Any input appreciated. Did you guys modify the lower radiator support in your cars to get that CC374 to sit that low? Looking for that configuration in a 2 row (thinner design) and not finding it. How about the HP claims of the radiator below? Ya' F in right:wack:
