Anyone have any leads on we’re to get a 3 row aluminum radiator that will drop right in and use my factory shroud? Thanks in advance
 
I bought one from Auto City Classic off eBay and it’s been perfect. Went right in no issues. Didn’t realize how poorly my old one was working until I dropped that thing in.
 
All the ones I see on eBay have a 18 1/2 inch core mine is 17 1/2 and all the ones on eBay are 24 5/8 inch tall and mine is only 23 1/2 at the most. I put some thing on my radiator cap that was 1 inch and tried to close my hood and it won’t
 
While not Aluminum these seem to fit very well with the stock shroud.

The one he posted looks like the first one I posted. But the one you posted Don is cheaper and looks identical. Installed one like it in the roadrunner.
 
Just found this one also lol been looking all weekend when I had a min

My Cold Case fit pretty good after I "adjusted" the mounting holes. Had to fabricate some brackets to adapt the shroud... for me it wasn't a big deal but as far as this being a direct bolt in, not so much. They sell a shroud for this rad but the factory one works just fine.

That Does look nice but my fan shroud on a 66 wont attach to that
 
This is what I used on my 66 link Not sure about mounting your shroud because I bought their shroud and fan combo. Think I had to drill a couple of mounting holes om one side. Scroll down for the 3 row.
 
I have looked at the champion radiators and the ones that will except my fan shroud are a inch taller than mine and won’t fit I thought about getting it with their vans but I do not have a spot for their sensor seeing how I have the holly sniper and my dash and a mechanical gauge already installed. I have the mechanical gauge because I have not got my gauges re-done it yet and the holly sniper is not accurate. So I do not trust my dash or the holly sniper

The sniper should be accurate?
What does it show?

I have the Sniper PDM so hooking the fan up was no problem. I also bought the Standard Motor Products TX3 CTS and it's supposed to be much more accurate than the Holley one.
 
I almost wondered if I switched the sniper sensor and my mechanical would it read different? Is there a wall between the 2?
