Has anybody purchased a radiator from here? Hot Rod TV said they got one for some project they were doing. They showed $124 for a replacement radiator + $5 shipping anywhere in the US. I emailed them asking about the radiator and whether or not it was jsut a stock replacement. They said yes but also said they have a 3 row for the same price.

Needless to say I ordered one. Let you know how it looks. But for $129 it seems like a helluva deal. Plus there is a lifetime warranty.

I got one from them last year, the price was right and the radiator works. What else is there?

Are these brass or aluminum radiators?

One of the last few parts I need to buy before I fire up the IROC is a radiator. I saw a 31x19 Griffin in Summit for like $190, but it's a 2-row. A friend of mine has one in his '91 and says it works great in front of his hot 350, forgot if it has the trans cooler side-tank. Not a direct bolt in but easy to do. Forget Be-cool, after spending the money on my motor, I'm short on cash...

Is that upgrade 3-row replacement they offer aluminum? Hell with the warranty, I don't want to have to ship it back for a warranty!

I wonder if it is the same people that have the 1(800) RADIATOR phone number. If so, then yes, I've used them. Good news: it was a stock replacement radiator and arrived the very next day. Bad news: I ordered a high capacity 3-row radiator, not a replacement. I wound up returning it. They told me their manufacturer no longer makes the 3-row I ordered. But if you are looking for a stock replacement radiator I can recommend them for the price and quick turn around. Lon
