Is this radiator a good deal?

Well Tracy, I haven't measured it but I will tomorrow and post my findings.
I will measure the core support and the radiator.
I also bought their electric fan so I will not be using the stock shroud. I will be using a temp activated switch in one of the water jackets of the intake manifold and wiring in a Bosch Relay directly to the battery that is triggered by the ignition key to take care of the additional electrical draw.

Sounds good. No hurry on getting the measurements. I was just curious to see if Ma Mopar made the core supports different on the 70's cars.

This is a good thread to read,Ive heard alot of good about these radiators and the few bad ones Ive heard about (twisted) were exchanged for a good one with no problems.Could it be the shipping thats twisting them?,at any rate I was about to pull the trigger and try one out,any one know how they would work with a factory shroud?.

Mine won't work with the factory fan shroud even though they are advertised that they will. The core on the Champion radiator is a bunch shorter than the stock radiator so the fan shroud overlaps the hose fittings. See picture below. The angle of the picture makes it look like the fan shroud dwarfs the radiator but it's really not that much diff. The width is right. Just the height is off. Being a direct bolt in and using the stock fan and shroud was one of the reasons I bought the Champion radiator. Too bad it didn't work out.

I don't think mine got twisted in shipment. It wasn't double boxed but was very well padded. The box shows no signs of any damage at all.
