Has anybody use a 26" Core 4 Row Champion Monster Radiator MC375 is this a good radiator? or junk I know it made in china my 69 GTX run hot in summer I think of buying it about 275.00 with shipping
I just installed a Champion 3 row 26" in my '69 RR yesterday. I thought it would just drop in but it didn't I had to drill the holes for it on the radiator support but then again I don't know if my RR came with a 26 or 22 from the factory. Nice piece though.
Bigmanjbmopar, where did you get that shroud? Did you make it? I need one.
I opened my support to the 26" size. Very easy, didn't even hurt the paint. And needed no mods to mount it in the car. Some said they has issues with warped rads from both Champion and victory. Mine was fine.
Hey jeff, how did ya do it without damaging paint?
Prop, I just left mine the way it was and just drilled four holes and put the bolts and nuts on it. I didn't want to alter the support that much plus the little bit of the radiator that doesn't show I don't think will make a difference on the cooling.

I have the american eagle 22" (champion) 2 row 1" tubes in my 66 coronet with a 318 poly with mech 7 blade fan no shroud and milodon high flow water pump. Have had it about a year with no problems. 95 deg day sitting in heavy traffic does not go over 195. Did have to modify the mounting areas slightly.
Maybe they are better now. Maybe my 500 inch beast breathes fire. I dont know but I have a barely used c375 in a box in the garage because it wouldnt cool my car. Buy a Griffin.More expensive but its 3 times the quality.
