Looks just like the one I put on my truck.
Works so good, I don't even run a fan blade! No electric fan either.

Bought one for my rod, said it is a direct fit for a 28/29 model A with flathead v8. NOT! mount pads are off by 1/2 hole on each side, but still not bad for the price.

I bought one... mine is a "champion" brand.... very good piece for the money! The big block runs nice and cool!

It's a new way for a person to know what radiator to buy. They just go buy the hp their engine puts out.

I'm going to try one of those when the time comes on my rpu project. Even the best radiators are going to spring some leaks if you drive the car enough, the Brassworks one on my 27 seeps a little and the Walker one on my Son's T bucket is weeping slightly. They shake themselves to death on the front of one of these cars, especially if you are running a wicked cam, so seams do sometimes let a little coolant out. I can't see putting another $700 radiator on when one of the cheaper ones might work.

went to the cheap aluminum after a $600 Walker, used three so far with no problems all for under $200 each.

Thanks for all the great responses. I appreciate it.

I put a champion 3 core in my 29 and it works great for the bucks. Like already stated, the mounts had to modified and I used a lot of rubber to help the shake thing to save the seams. I plan on another for my 38 when the $$ come in.

I bought a 4 core off e-bay for my 47 haven't run it yet but its 100% welded and looks very well built I believe it was a Champion. Good luck

 

[cycledog]

Looks like the one I have in my Coupster....no problems in 4 years.

That is just a little "sweat" from working so hard! I have used the Off brand units in a couple of drag cars and they worked well. You just have to expect some fitment issues but you get what you pay for. [

Put a two row with 1" cores in my 32...fit the shell really well. beautiful welds and runs really cool...under $200 bucks...will use again
