Is this radiator a good deal?
This thing is a piece of garbage!! As soon as I set it down on the garage floor and looked down from the top I noticed it's twisted. When layed on a perfectly flat garage floor one corner is up 1/4". That's not all though. The mounting holes on one side line up but the other doesn't. If you try to align their holes to the original holes it places the radiator in there cockeyed. Plus the radiator shroud doesn't even come close to fitting like they say it will. The core is a full inch shorter than the original so the stock shroud is too tall. I see on the box it's made in China. Might have guessed it would be junk.
UPDATE: pictures are now posted
1st picture shows a top view of how it's twisted
2nd picture shows how it's way smaller than a stock A-body 22" shroud
3rd picture shows how cockeyed it is if you use their mounting holes
4th picture shows the gap at the top left corner when the other 3 bolts are tight and no my core support is not bent. It's straight as an arrow. Car has never been wrecked.
