I put Champion radiators in my 39 and 40 cars and I am happy with the results. My original radiators were quoted at $1200 to rebuild and i found the champion solution to be
in my budget x 4.

I have a Champion in my '39 coupe with a 8ba engine. I have been using it for over 2 years and couldn't be happier.

I see they don’t carry the more complicated 35-38 ford radiators.
That’s a shame. More complicated tank design.

I put a Champion radiator in my '41 coupe and could not get it to cool on a hot day in traffic or over 60 mph on the highway. But my engine is 284 cubic inches which puts more heat into the system. Everybody with near stock engines give good reports on Champion. I solved my problem with a stock truck radiator.
