    I am looking into getting a new radiator but there is so many to choose from. I dont want junk that that will make my 351 over heat. Maybe you all could give me some insight on what is best. I planned on running a regular fan not electric.

    Ditto exept he doesn't really sell them, I don't think he just knew the guy that had them made and pushed the guy into making them for the Maverick....

    Anyway and none the less That is the one I run also.

    It is made by Champion Cooling and it will most definetly cool your 351 very well and keep it nice and chili no matter how much HP you are getting out of her I wouldn't be afraid to run that Champion Cooling alum. radiator with a Hi-Po Big Block.

    This is their website

    http://www.championcooling.com/

    and they always have the radiators on Ebay for sale, just do a Ebay search for Ford Maverick Radiator and look for the Aluminum Champion Cooling Radiator, there are a few authorized dealers. I order two Radiator and from my experience they are drop shipped directly from the Champion Cooling Co. in Cali.

    yup i JUST !!! bought the champion aluminum radiator on e-bay i hooked it up to my wrecked mav i cant tell if it will fit good but it looks like it will fit with the taurus fan so i should fit with a manual fan

    they are made for the mav

    they say FOR ANY REASON ( YOU DON'T LIKE IT ) YOU CAN SHIP IT BACK and they will pay for the shipping :thumbs2:
