Champion radiator for ~500hp small block??
I sometimes help a friend who owns a high end restoration shop in this county. When I say high end, I mean it. I'm talking about 150K plus builds. The guy is good. We had three different vehicles he ordered Cold Case radiators for. Two 62 Corvettes and a 69 Mustang. None of the radiators fit. Not even close. They were the correct numbers for the application. The Corvette radiators have "nubs" on the bottom tank that fit into holes in the very front cross member. The nubs on both radiators weren't even close to being spaced right to fit. Matt called and they told him they didn't have the correct measurements and that's how they made them. If he wanted them right, he needed to move the nubs and tig them in the right places. Both of those radiators got thrown in the scrap pile and he ordered two more from Griffin. Drop in replacements. The Mustang radiator actually came in damaged with the box perfect in every way. No marks on the outside or inside, so it had to be damaged before they boxed it up. You guess it. They refused to replace it. Also, after that, I called about a radiator for my truck. I never got anyone to answer. I sent messages through here to the Cold Case Rep. I never got an answer so I bought one from Summit. Not a Cold Case, but a Summit brand radiator. Fits good. Cools great. Yall can deal with Cold Case all you want. I'll never try them again. Here's one of the Corvettes. The customer put his own tires and wheels on after delivery.
