Thread: Champion Aluminum Radiator Opinions for 390

Sounds like a good unit...three row core and good spacing on the tubes... At least it's welded and not glued together.... Never have ran that particular brand, but I've always been happy with the aluminum radiators that I've ran.....

Me too, I like aluminum.

Sounds like a nice radiator. I went with a Northern brand aluminum sold by Mustangs Unlimited. No way a stock replacement but the hose and AT line connections were somewhat close and workable. Upper and lower rad mounts had to be widened and modified. It's 3" wide all around and had to notch the rad support on the top on each side so get a flush fit. It's not recessed for the upper and lower mounts like the oem. But it works great and runs nice and cool. The original shroud does not fit. And with the wider size some clutch fans will be very tight on space. So look at the big picture as to what stock parts and look you want to retain. I've been seeing on the Stang and Cougar forums some of the aftermarket brass and aluminum rads are poorly made. Suffering cooling issues as the end result. But the one your looking at offers a good warranty. Do you have a pic of it?

I also asked if they make a 4 row and they do. It will cool 1000hp and it has polished tanks. I can send you the photos I found if you provide your email address.
Thanks, Josh
