I just persued the “Cold Case Radiator” website and thought it helpful to cut & pasted their write-up in the “About us” section, Cold-Case Radiators® is a division of Max Performance Inc, a leading supplier of auto restoration parts and accessories. Cold-Case Radiators® was founded in 2014 when a need for high quality aluminum radiators at a fair price surfaced. We're not new to the automotive business though. Max Performance Inc has been supplying the classic car market for over 35 years and Pypes Exhaust is our sister company, who has specialized in performance exhaust since 2003. Our goal is simple. At Cold-Case Radiators®, we want to make aluminum performance radiators and accessories available and affordable to everyone. Even with our reduced prices, we do not sacrifice quality. All of our radiators are 100% tig welded aluminum. There is no cutting corners here. We specialize in the Muscle Car market. From the 1950s all the way to present day, you will find Cold-Case Radiators® on American built muscle. The next time you want to upgrade that engine bay, remember the name...Cold-Case Radiators®. Best thing about us is...Our radiators all come with a limited lifetime warranty! We stand behind our quality, research, and our products. If our radiator doesn't keep your car cool, send it back as part of our '60 day COOL Guarantee.' Worth investigation I would say.

Subject: Re: Radiator/ Electric Fan / Controller Help The manufacturer is called "Cold Case" www.coldcaseradiators.com . Buying through Jegs, they gave me some additional rebate that got it down to $340 shipped. Griffin is WAY high...figuratively & literally. Can't justify that kind of scratch.

Who is the mfgr. Bill? Northern Radiator? Griffin touts 1.25 to 1.50” tubes but is quite pricey. Gary Pavlovich From: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Bill M

Subject: Re: Radiator/ Electric Fan / Controller Help SO...after doing some more hunting, I'm finally going with a Cold Case, aluminum 2 row, & 1.25" tubes. As compared to everyone else out there offering the 1.25" tube option anywhere (from $550 +s/h, to over $750), they are reasonably priced ($340 shipped) and have a lifetime warranty, and have provisions for a stock shroud. Also made less than 2 hours away from me in Northern Philly.
Can't wait for Uncle Sam to send my tax refund and get this thing cut loose!!

I'm definitely seeing the electric fan scenarios as a huge snowball right now. It's making 405 hp and it's doing exacty that...melting down in traffic. Bill I think you are on the right track with the spacers and larger fan. Get that fan in the shroud. I race a 500HP engine with a fan shroud and seven blade factory fan with no issues.When I ran this car on the street with about 425HP and no shroud it would about melt down in traffic. And, do the test Gary suggested. I don't think you need to spend money on that radiator and electric fan stuff until you are really putting out the HP. Enzo, My issue seems to be airflow at idle, while driving down the road is fine. I do have a factory shroud but my current setup has the fan outside the shroud's mouth. I managed to locate a .75" longer fan clutch over the weekend to hopefully get the fan into the shroud. Also found a fan blade thats 1" larger in diameter that should fill the shroud better. Im hoping that these with a new aluminum 2 row radiator with 1" or 1.25" tubes will fix me up. Hi Bill I may be a little late to the party
but here is the info I sent To David ;last year :
Hi David I have the identical Hemi set up in my car
it began life with an alum 3 row rad and (2) 10" plastic electric fans
it was warm and progressively got warmer 200-215 for a 25 mile ride on open roads
did some searching this winter '/ spring …. finally settled on a Glen Ray Radiator unit c/w metal shroud and a
Hayden flex as per Bob Schirmer's recommendation My temp now barely exceeds 180 (maybe 190 in traffic)
but all works to a tee and I now enjoy and trust driving the car again
hope this helps
Enzo

Even though I've always
stuck with stock style configurations when it comes to
anything to do my car, I'm tired of being scared of
sitting in traffic, and watching my temperature
rise.
I'm seriously thinking about getting an
aluminum radiator and electric fan combination (never used
one before). So far I'm leaning towards Champion
radiators (lifetime warranty), three core set up, and a 16
in single Spal puller fan, and harness w/controller. The
above package is $500 shipped.
But I'm a little concerned about their
harness and as it seems to have some light wiring
gauges.

https://www.championradiators.com/Thermostat-relay-kit-instruction
Not sure whether I should maybe use a
"Spal" harness and controller like
this...
https://www.jegs.com/p/SPAL/SPAL-Electric-Fan-Wiring-Harness-Kits/2861422/10002/-1
The other issue is that the above controllers
have a set temperature (185 on I believe). Should i use a
programmable setup like this instead if i want to tweak the
temp?

Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
