More problem. Go figure.
If a $200 aluminum radiator that looks great, fits perfect, and is rated for 500 horsepower seems too good to be true …. you know the rest. That Champion rating must have been for sub-zero air temperature and a NASCAR cooling fan.

And another thing: I found one of the mounting ears broken off when I took it out. It had been properly mounted with rubber pad, spring bolts and correct top braces.
