Has anyone bought one? I'm looking for a radiator for a 69 396 with air and before purchasing one from Alumitech(which advertise here on this site) i would like to know if there are any pros or cons.Do they cool well? They look very nice in the pictures and descripition. I would paint it black. Thanks guys. Trying to avoid a big $$$$ mistake.

Funny guy, "trying to avoid a mistake" - you will NOT be disappointed with an Alumitech radiator!!.

I have one. Stock fit (literally), lightweight, cools great, I painted my tanks black also for the stock look. To give you some quick piece of mind, just do a search with the word "Alumitech" and all your worries will melt away.

I just put one in my 67 camaro and it fit perfectly. I had used Ron Davis and AFCO before, but Alumitech came through perfectly for me.

Tom, Do a search in the cooling section. I have never heard anything negative about them. I'm very happy with mine

You will love it, It fits like OEM, and will cool your engine. Use the Eastwood radiator black paint if you buy one which I and many other members highly recommend!

I'm not positive but I think he was going to start making them to look just like OEM?

I running one in my 66 impala to cool my 496. I painted mine black. It was direct oem replacement. I running a flex fan. It cools well but I think I need electric fans for sitting in traffic for long periods of time.

I would recommend these radiators. No complaints!

I think there is a TC discount, just ask the owner. If your lucky maybe there is a sale going on. I bought mine with a sale price about $100 off.
