Not sure if you're looking for brass or aluminum but I bought an aluminum radiator from our host for my 1969 GTO and installed it last week. It was a fairly tight fit but can confirm that it fits without any modification to the shroud.

Is that the Cold-Case rad? Says once painted cannot tell from OE,so was thinking stock fan & shroud should fit also. Fairly reasonable price compared to some,and if stamped just like OE,sounds like a winner. They are a 2row design but with enlarged tubes.If this is what you have Rodney,let's us know how it works? If runs cooler or not.Thanks,KD

Rodney,is this the Cold-Case radiator? If so,let us know how it works once you get some run time w/it...Says once painted almost unable to tell its not an OE.With the price,if it fits and cools well,seams like a winner?

This one is a Desert Cooler radiator, seems to work great so far. I'm not sure about painting this one and it looking stock, there are some differences between the two such as differences in the tank ribs but like I said, it fits with an unmodified fan shroud so that's a big plus.

Don't think that's it? One I was speaking of is called Cold-Case.Chris spoke of them as a project in the works for Maxperformance when he was talking about letting retail side go to Ames.I saw an add in new Smokes Signals last week.I checked out web site and their showing as a Maxperformance company. I'm sure there a good piece,and have an attractive price point. Maybe someone will chime on these in next few days?

I got this response from cold case regarding fitment with stock unmodified shrouds.
" Yes. These are made very close to original spec. The big difference is that they are 2 row. They even have the bracket and original style stamping on the tanks." |
