I was able to get ahold of johnat DeWitts and he had a floor model he was willing to sell to me at a slight discount I had to borrow a little moneyto make it happen but I think it will be worth it. He said it was in fair condition but it was not shiny anymore. but neither is anything else in my engine bay lol. Thank everyone for your advise and offers of your older used radiators and thank you DeWitts for for bieng willing to work with us broke folks.

Sorry, I'm a little late on this thread, but...
I bought a Champion aluminum radiator, off of EBay, from Performance Radiator for my 74 that I drag race. It has been in the car for about a year and works wonderful - stays cool and weighs less.
It fit as good as the brass stock one that came out except for one issue. The drain **** was on the LEFT side instead of the stock, RIGHT side, location and hit the frame rail on that side. I had it moved to the right side and all is well. I talked to Performance about this and they said that all the C3 radiators from Champion come like that.
Performance also 'worked' with me on the cost of getting the drain **** moved. I am happy with them, for sure! Just a caveat to anyone getting a Champion radiator, that this may be a problem.
Good luck.
