Doesnt look too bad IMO. I think the brand name ones are 3-4 row aluminum, but ive heard some say thats bit of an overkill

its a non numbers matching six cylinder that has been converted to a 302, 9', AOD, mini tubbed, radio bezel is cut. so cutting the radiator opening for more cooling does not bother me one bit.

Ya, thats what I have done on my FB to run a 70 radiator. I am building the motor with a 70 pulley and bracket system to run the water pump to use the radiator. Plus I like the rubber mounting system better than bolting it to the radiator support.

Those things suck. It is a 2 core, but very small. The one core is normal size, but the second is half the size of the second. But hey, it still has two cores right ? We usually run the summit brand radiators and weld tabs on those. Costs more, but a much better rad.

I have had it for about 6 years now and it works great.
