Re: RB b body radiator and shroud

[Wakeman Massie <wakey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Aluminum bolt-in:  Mancini and Griffin, maybe others... $$$  I do see 
cheapos on ebay but am skeptical.

If you can weld or know a welder, you can save big bucks.  On my '64 Dart, I 
measured the space between the frame rails and ordered the largest generic 
aluminum circle-track radiator from Speedway Motors that would fit.  A 
top-quality, USA-made Ron Davis radiator that will keep 600hp cool on the 
street was only $169.  They are sold with the input/outputs in various 
locations.  You just need to pick the right one, fab up some "L" brackets, 
and weld em on.

I can weld, but I never welded on an aluminum tank before.  I called Ron 
Davis before I bought mine, they were very helpful about how and where to 
weld the brackets on, what kind of material to use, etc.  Turned out to be a 
very simple job - and wouldn't be expensive to have a professional welder 
do.  All said and done, it looks like a factory fit for under $200.

Just a suggestion.
