American Eagle Radiator?

Anyone have any experience with the American Eagle radiators? I'm looking at AE369-369FS14 - a stock replacement with fans. It's only $350 and looks nice and all I would have to do is deal with my steam line. It appears to have an extra inlet, perhaps that could be used for the steam line.

Re: American Eagle Radiator?

According to the website, $350 includes the fans and shroud. It's a $200 upgrade for Spal fans (adds 1200 CFM).

Does anyone have any experience with these American Eagle radiators and/or fans?

Re: American Eagle Radiator?

I put the exact radiator and fan combo in my 71 GMC with a 5.3/4l60e last year. I did not upgrade to the Spal fans. 12,000 miles on it so far and it works perfect.

Thanks for the feedback Beau. Did you use the Jagsthatrun steam line tee?

Re: American Eagle Radiator?

I’m planning on using the right side heater fitting in the tank for my steam line. Seems like the simplest and best solution. It’s fairly high up on the tank, and the LS water pump has both heater fittings taken care of.
