Would be nice if it drops in and bolts to the factory location. Let us know how it fits. Are you putting it in a car with 26" opening?
nope, going in the valiant. i'll do some measuring when i get it
That will fit in an early A with little to no mods.
watching
sorry dear, i'm working a double shift...i'll bring it into work tomorrow and take some pics

Funny if that big box was his special order blow up doll!!!!
so this looks pretty good. no bubble wrap, just expanded foam holding the corners. has two sensor bungs in the top tank. weighs 15lbs. paint looks like a regular radiator shop did it, a few fins are dinked, but nothing out of the ordinary. i should be able to get it in next weekend.

I like copper brass radiators.
That said were you disappointed it wasn't that doll?

Thanks for the post and the pics.
The price is pretty reasonable, but does it include shipping?
If not, how much was the shipping?

I think that's good. I'm still a fan of the Copper over the Aluminum.
Thanks for posting this info. I’m also curious how it how it fits although as others has said it will require drilling to fit on your 22” opening. Do you plan on running a shroud with the rad and is it a stock 26” shroud?
Unless one needs a copper rad with a Chrysler part number, this might be a cost effective oem solution. Buying old rads with the Chrysler part number and then paying to get them re-cord is more expensive compared to this option.

my valiant has a 2 row AL champion that i never meant for this car. it was a replacement for my 74' that had a cheap no name Al radiator i got because i needed something same day. well the cheap one ended up working great. when i got the valiant, and it needed a radiator, so in the champion went. haven't driven it much yet, but i can tell it's going to need a shroud. but not much room with the March pulleys and A/C. AndyF 's thread got me thinking of looking for a later copper 26" radiator. anyway, all that to say i'm planning on a shroud, just need more room, and since i already have a 26" in there, it should fit on the mounts i already made. i'll be looking for a shroud next
