Re: So you guys want a bolt in all aluminum 3 core radiator?
Not a problem. I might put some water through it as someone suggested to see what happens if it looks open. I don't have to install it in the car so fast so I can run water through the trans cooler to see what happens, blast it out with compressed air after, and let it sit for as long as I want to completely dry it out so I might just do that.

The radiator stock ran short at the factory so it looks like it will be about another 3 weeks. Geoff from Ledfoot Racing contacted me to let me know what happened was really easy to work with. He refunded my purchase and said he'll call me directly when they get back in to make sure I get one. Definitely a good guy to buy from.
I asked about the trans adapters and he said that the thread issue was only on the earlier units and it has now been corrected. I was unclear if that meant it comes with the adapters or if the thread is corrected on the radiator itself but either way it should work out of the box but I'll see how it is when I get it.

I can attest to the trans line ports being fixed...my new one fit REALLLL NICCCEEE . I let the car warm up for my pressure test, hit 185 and the fan kicked on. Got to watch the temp drop to 145 in about 30 seconds. These radiators f-n ROCK!
I need to buy a hotter T-Stat now. When I took it out it wouldnt go over 145-150 degrees :EEK:

i was looking at that one too but didnt know if it was worth it. The guy from leadfoot racing said he'd call me as well when they got their shipment in so i figured id wait.
Either way, let us know how that one works. im still curious.
Re: So you guys want a bolt in all aluminum 3 core radiator?
Ok here it is.
It fits almost like stock. It is just a little bit wider so I had to cut corners in the 4 rubber seals (just the corners) and I had to bend the top radiator ribs inward a little bit - it fits firm and seats nicely in the stock plastic holder. All of the inlets and outlets are of a correct diameter and threads for the trans are correct so I'm happy with how it sits.
RUBBER HOLDER ON THIS PIC - cut just a little to sit firm.
overall looks:
It cools fine I did not notice any difference really since I did not have the cooling problems before my old radiator cracked.
