monte70z20 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Looking to put a Champion 4-core radiator in my 70 Monte. Anybody have experience with these rads? I can't seem to find any bad feedback about them. Any issues with the fit that I should be aware of? It is made for the 70 Monte but I don't want to get it home to find out I need to cut and weld to make it fit correctly. Any guidance always appreciated. Here is the link for the Rad I'm looking at: https://www.championradiators.com/product/MC161 If there is a better choice for roughly the same cost, feel free to suggest.

cbolt Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 i cannot speak for your exact application, but I have a Champion 4 core radiator in my car and love it. I did have a leak issue after about 6 years of reliable service but the radiators are lifetime warrantee and the company was quick to replace it when it started leaking (from the drain petcock) I want to say they are a bit thicker than the original radiator but it really was an easy install on my sbc '72. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte70z20 Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 James (cbolt): Thanks for sharing your experience. Besides being a bit thicker did you find it fit well in the sbc core support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbolt Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 it did okay. I have had it in so long I don't recall any real issues and I would remember if it was a pain to install. I can run out and take a pic if you would like to see. I do have one of those show plates installed so it is difficult to get a complete pic of the whole top of the radiator but you will be able to see the sides where the rubber and radiator meet.

Either crop it, or try using a lower resolution setting on the camera. Worst case, email it to me and I'll play with it a bit, or email it directly to John.
