To anybody that has this radiator. How was the cooling? Does fit under the factory top plate. Seems like a good price. Just dont want to buy it and it doesnt keep my bbo cool in the summer.

I would personally spend more money for something better, I would want wider tanks for more capacity, lower hose angled in for frame clearance and I would go with a 31" wide radiator since it fits well in a Gbody and gives added cooling with a wider core and if you think cooling is going to be an issue maybe look at 2 X 1.25" tubes to get you there also.
Having too much cooling capability is never a bad thing since the system can be regulated, not enough and you will continuously be chasing cooling issues.

It's not a good radiator to buy if your car lives outside. Will rust out very suddenly.

I also have a champion radiator doing the job unlike the other one I had. Measurements are 18.25 X 31". It fit under the top plate pretty good. Paid 190$ shipped

Where did you guys get the champion radiator at? $190 is a good price also. Thanks for the feedback on it I dont want to buy something that will cause cooling issues down the road. Especially since this car will be pushed hard in auto cross and interstate trips and car crusies.

It sure looks like my Champion rad. My 8 to1 Olds 403 ran 210 in hot weather, 230 pulling my 16 foot boat. It did much better with my current 7.9 to 1 Olds 350, around 190. I currently have it in my Olds 350 powered 94 Z71. I ran 175 in 75 degree temps, 2 hour drive with city traffic. The truck has always ran cooler, no doubt a lot more air flows through. I am getting the Griffin Dominator F body rad in manual trans, supposed to fit a G body fine. The A/G body rad is way too wide fit my car.
