    Keeps getting to hot

    On second thought, after taking a closer look at those picture, there's not much room for anything in there! Options are kind of limited I think

    Keeps getting to hot

    Had the same problems at one point. Tried numerous electric fans up to 2200 cfm and nothing was good enough. Eventually switched back to a clutch fan with a custom fiberglass shroud. Problem solved. You're in 29 Palms and it gets hot as hell there... I know, I spent eight years in the Corps and...

    Aluminum Radiator from Ledfoot Racing

    When I bought my radiator I thought that Ledfoot was the sole distributor of Champion radiators. Since then I've seen challengergary come up in a few different threads so I'm not sure how I missed that. Sorry Gary, I'd always prefer to do business with someone that specializes in Mopars and...

    Anyone built or found a fan shroud to fit champion radiator??????

    As a matter of fact, yes it is. And yeah, the water pump is the funky passenger side inlet. It gets the job done! Nice! Yeah, it's cooled down quite a bit here too. I'm kinda hoping for one more hot day to give it a try. Oh well, there's always next summer. But in the mean time, I'm happy...

    Aluminum Radiator from Ledfoot Racing

    I put a 26" 3-row champion radiator in my '67 barracuda with a 400 big block. Their aluminum shroud and fans weren't enough to keep my setup cool and the shroud blocked far too much air at highway speeds. My temperature actually started to climb on the freeway, something it's never done before...

    Anyone built or found a fan shroud to fit champion radiator??????

    I've had cooling issues with my barracuda from day one and I've tried every wrong way to fix it. The temperature always stayed steady at about 180* while driving at 30+ mph, but I had to avoid cities and traffic at all costs because the temperature would just keep on rising to 220+ degrees. I...

    26" champion radiator in '67 Barracuda?

    yeah, I was thinking I'd have to cut the core support if I went with the 26". I'm looking ahead to the future when I can finish my stroker motor, I want to make sure that I have enough capacity to keep it cool. I'm planning on a 470ci with 10.5:1 compression and about 600hp. Would the 22"...

    26" champion radiator in '67 Barracuda?

    I just got off the phone with ledfoot (champion radiator distributor) and they couldn't tell me which of their 26" radiators would fit in my 1967 Barracuda. I could swear that I've read posts from FABO members that have put the 26" in late sixties a-bodies. Anyone have some first-hand knowledge...

    Wtfo?

    I really hope that's what happened. I did change the coolant a couple months ago when I installed new header gaskets and never really got a good, definitive burp out of it. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was a bubble in there. That's another possibility I was considering. The Milodon...

    Wtfo?

    Agreed; the fan is too small for my too small radiator. Saving money for a nice Champion unit with dual fans :yawinkle:

    Wtfo?

    Yesterday was 75 and sunny, the perfect day to drive the Barracuda in to work. I usually avoid traffic like the plague, but on my way home I unexpectedly got stuck on an on-ramp that just wouldn't move. I know that I have some cooling issues and knew that I was in trouble. As usual the...
