Nice I actually got someone from cold case radiator get into contact with me from this forum and might give them a try..I used Champion in my 69 Dart, also alum.
I'm finding it cheaper to go aluminum..and will keep old one if I save enough I'll record it and have as backup .I don't know why everyone wants an aluminum radiator. The experience I've had with aluminum rads are that they are weak, and don't cool as well as a brass/copper rad. The upside of light weight I get, but unless it's a race car, I don't want to give up the durability and cooling of brass/copper.

A good help so far Chris..will be in contact this weekThere is no shortage of radiator companies out there. Those mentioned in this topic have earned the right to be a consideration. Cold Case is a newer brand but we're not a new company. We also produce Pypes exhaust. So we are not going anywhere. But we need to earn the industry's trust. That means we have to create enough value to give us a try. Our dual 1 1/4" core, stamped and polished tanks, lifetime warranty,60 day cool guarantee and a really good introductory forums member price just happens to make us a very good value right now. i believe we're also the only participating Radiator sponsor on this site right now.
Thanks guys ...not over thinking it just don't wanna get shitty parts and doing the job more than once..i like getting information as I go.. maybe a dumb question but I got my old radiator back.and it looks the same as I dropped it off.. thought I would see something different .. fluids if they dipped ..dryed out from air test ??something ..or am I wrongBought mine over a year ago, same price. Works great too. Much better than OE. Good luck!

I`ve got a 28x19 crossflow "griffin" alum. rad in my 505" , 68 fastback, I was pulling on the floor jack, and pulled the jack off the k member, it bent the front splash pan and rad., along w/ the rad support up 1 1/2", right dead center, tapering out to straight at the sides.I had to straighten and repaint everything, "BUT" the radiator, it doesn`t leak ! Griffins are all welded , no epoxy. Its visibly noticeable in the car!I don't know why everyone wants an aluminum radiator.
