We use the "AllStar" brand which Is identicle to the Summit offering. You can buy them at the local circle track shop for $170.00. This was the only radiator that kept my old 400 cool in the Summer. I broke a bracket and the mechanical fan killed it! I traded for a Griffin aluminum radiator to replace it; it did NOT cool as good even when I switched to a Taurus electric fan. my .02 JD
One point: Be mindfull when measuring the height/width you can fit. Advertised size isn't always accurate. I had to cut off the lower radiator tray and mount with 'L" brackets and slightly lean the radiator towards the engine for hood clearance. A big issue is the water fill neck is straight up at the top not angled like the stock setup. Also, the lower outlet has an angle to it not straight like factory.

Good point. My Griffin is angled. My lower radiator hose is for a 1969 Chevy truck with a 307 engine with AC. Mounted upside down. Like it was made for the car....

I bought a Champion on Ebay last year. It fit "almost" perfectly with the factory plastic shroud in my 75 Formula. So far I havent gotten the car to run hotter then 190-195 using a 160 thermostat with a small hole drilled in the thermostat. It's my daily driver and lately temps are in the 80's and 90's and i do idle around town sometimes.
Good deal I thought. It was made well from what I see. I use a stock clutch fan setup in a 455 I built. Here's some posts from my install. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...light=champion
