Thumbs up Re: Alum Radiators for stockers ....2015
Glad to help, Jim. I don't know if there are any other manufacturers that have the OEM style tanks.

I am hoping that the more common and less expensive "box" style tanks will be legal for everyone. The overall style and configuration remains the same.

What is the actual rule? I was thinkin of something like this...would have to fab bottom brackets, and the top one, could be hid under the shroud bracket. It would be somewhat lighter than the champion 3 row, you mentioned above... what's your thoughts?

Myself I would prefer not to do any fabricating...I would probably burn holes in it lol. Ran across this all aluminum unit on ebay for the Mustang which came with two fans/mounting hardware, cap and drain petcock for $149 shipped...I couldn't resist. It isn't flimsy in the least.

If you want your information to accurate just plug the bottom hose connection, fill them with water and after that you can weigh them..

Some radiators will hold more water.....at 8 pounds per gallon!!!!
