Anyone here who bought the Reliable Rad from either the GP on here or on there own, how you do like it? Money well spent?

I am considering purchasing one from them (3 or 4-core unit with fans and shroud) and was wondering whether this is a good buy.

My original plan was to get a Be-cool circle track rad like what member Dennisbernalz (think that's how his tag is spelled) and find a fan to fit, but the price of that 3-core fully dressed from Reliable is hard to beat.

Well depends on what your market is. I am currently run a 2 row all aluminum from a company called Silla Cooling Systems. I love it. Its doesnt fit the greatest but if you modify your top radiator mount it's good. now if you want an OE replacement. Try to find a Visteon made, or Modine made radiator and you should be okay. The group purchase radiators have good repoires on here I have seen too but I dont have experience with them personally.

I bought my 3 row aluminum for my 383 off ebay from monsterautoparts. I did have to do some clearancing to fit it in stock location but yesterday I was driving down to my house from my dads and my electric fans weren't working. When I was sitting at stop lights the car got to 210* but not a bit higher, I don't think that is too bad for 75* outside temp and no fans. I forgot to add its a champion radiator.
