Looking to install an aluminum radiator - Has anyone had any luck with the
Champions on ebay??? From what i have read Champion is the way to go. Says they
will fit my 66- but i am just wondering what is their definition of "fit" Has anyone installed one- and how did it go???
Thanks

Re: Ebay aluminum radiators
I have one in my 2L. I did have to trim the bottom of the brace that is welded onto the sides of the radiator to get mine to fit It was hitting something. Since it is aluminum it was easy to cut. That said, it looks good and not given me any problems.

I installed one on my 66" and it was a perfect fit, no problems whatsoever. I noticed that the car ran a little cooler after installed, which is a bonus.

Re: Ebay aluminum radiators
My 67 has the prototype for the early cars in it. I contacted Mike at Champion about 6 years ago when I was restoring my 67. I sent him my stock radiator and he sent me the prototype, free! It fits perfectly with no modifications needed. I know that on the later 1600 cars some had to trim part of the mounting ear off to get it past the steering box. It should fit perfectly in your 66.
