No, but I've got a 4 row. Cheap & cools well BUT..I had to mount mine about 2" lower & hack the hell out of an aftermarket factory fan shroud to make it fit. Also watch your radiator cap to hood clearance.
I just put their 26" 3 row in my 67 this spring. Cools great , no problems with height. The factory top and bottom bolt holes were inline on the driver side. I cut out aprox 2" of the rad support on the right side and made new mount holes.
I am using a aftermarket stainless shroud and mech fan.
I have heard there are 2 different models / heights as far as cap clearance.
Gentlemen,
A point for future consideration....its NOT THE NUMBER OF TUBES IN THE CORE BUT THE NUMBER OF FINS PER INCH.
The tubes only convey the coolant from the inlet to the outlet.....the FINS are the actual heat exchange surface. Try and consider a radiator with the most FINS/ inch. Typically 16 -18 is ideal.

Any 3 row aluminum radiator is a reasonable option if
a) you don't mind that the tanks are fabricated
b) you don't mind modifying your shroud or radiator so the shroud fits.
c) your motor has a mild rebuild or is stock OEM specs.
Cold Case makes an aluminum radiator that can cool a lot bigger motor, looks much more stock with the stamped tanks, is designed to fit your car without modifications and has a lifetime warranty. All for a little more than $300.
I'm sure most of you have a lot of money in your cars and many of you have a lot of money in your motors. We feel it's worth the little bit extra to KNOW you have a radiator with the maximum cooling capacity. Sooner or later you are going to be sitting in traffic and wished you spent the little bit extra.
Don't know how mind cools yet - haven't started it. The Champion Radiator installed OK - seems like I had to drill a hole or two. My engine compartment was getting full and I had no place to put a catch can (wanted to use an old whiskey bottle). I riveted a catch can on my fan housing which is a duel fan setup. Also set up the fan relay to come on when the AC is turn on, or a block temp switch when the motor gets hot, or via a toggle switch under the dash - all are ground activated. It's full of antifreeze and not leaking yet.
