radiator
looking for recommendations for a new radiator for my '49 - 3100 with a built 327 & m21 4 spd. the old one finally started to leak. i thought about having it repaired, but no one in Seattle does that any more. Thanks

Re: radiator
I've got an engineered cooling products radiator for my 48. Stamped aluminum top tank that has the same shape as the original tank. I haven't used it yet but it is one nice unit.

Re: radiator
I have a Champion and have had no issues. It cools my 550hp 400sbc with no problems.

Re: radiator
0k, so anyone know the difference between champion cooling and champion radiator? 2 different web sites & 2 different locations. products seem comparable and cost is close.

Re: radiator
Auto City Classic sells nice radiators. I have used them on 2 47-53 trucks and a 55 car. I have been happy with them. https://www.autocityclassic.com/pickup/

Re: radiator
When I loaded some photos off my little Nikon camera to my new to me computer I found the photos of my radiator.
This is the engineered cooling products unit.
