    Exciting! :drive: Everyone here seems to have had great success, minus the small petcock clearance issue. That may even be fixed, not sure.

    I ordered an American Eagle, sister company to Champion. Taylor, the sales rep, told me about them. The part number is AE339-AA 69-77 Ford 20" core 2 row all aluminum radiator. I had him measure the thickness from the mounting flange to the fan side of the core. He measured 2 1/8", that is 1/8" thicker then my current stock radiator. I have been having problems keeping my 250 cool, especially the #6 cylinder.
    This winter will be interesting, figuring out which t-stat I'll be using. I may be having the opposite problem.
    Thanks for the tip.
