Champion 3 row & 4 row radiators for 5th gen Camaros - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Does anyone know anything about Champion 3 row & 4 row radiators for our 5th gen Camaros? These appear to be well made and very inexpensive. The 3row can be found for $200ish shipped and the 4row for $265 on eBay and other sources. Places like Jegs sells them also. Here are a few places I found:

It says they are all aluminum fully tig welded and a direct bolt it. All Champion Radiators are built with 100% welded seams with brazed-core technology and absolutely no epoxy. Seriously considering one of these. Just wanted to see if anyone had any feedback on them.

Thanks,

Kevin

These radiators are not made in America and are using old fashion 3 and 4-row technology more rows does not mean more cooling. The one and only company you should be looking at is Ron Davis Racing radiators.

I guess if money was no issues I could spend $1500 for a Ron Davis Racing Radiators. I might try one of these radiators and do a review with pics later. Always nice to get some real pics, reviews and feedback.

I used one in the '87 mustang that i built, fitment was no issue. I was running a 429cu big block in it. It worked good, Kept it cool, i had no issues. I used a twin electric fan setup with a 160 degree thermostatic switch.

I understand trying to get the most for your money but Ron Davis is worth every penny. Not sure of your long term goals but Ron Davis radiators are built to last and show quality in every detail.
