Cold-Case Radiators Opinions?
My universal fit Griffin took a dump so im looking for a direct fit radiator. I have an auto so id like to ditch the external trans cooler and go back to a single unit.
Is anyone here running the Cold-Case from Ecklers? Its been awhile since i researched rads so I didnt know there were so many options.
Good? Bad?
They are priced right for sure. Dewitt would be my first choice and I get it, you get what you pay for ...
Thoughts?

I have a Cold Case in my 61 Impala. Works great. Not maligning the Dewitt. But you asked.
It's chilling a 383 Stroker EFI ... dyno'd at 437HP/451# .... moving that beast of a sedan quite promptly ... keeping the spacious cabin quite cool with Vintage Air A/C. Perhaps it doesn't last long ... but it's working great in the Texas heat right now.
Polly will outrun Victoria easily. (now despite the Ride Tech coil over, I still can't corner as well in Polly as Victoria ...

Cold-case with a bullet!
I have had one for 5 years in 120° F AZ.....A MOST EXCELLENT PRODUCT. Not one complaint.
Fitment 1982 CE with A/C. 40% more cooling area for the size.
Recommendation; Get the big-block upper radiator supports....the SBC ones are too short....they CAN BE made to fit but WHY?
Best bang for the bux!

ps I didn't buy mine from Eck-lers....they play to many pricing games....I got mine From CC.
