Re: [Amc-list] Amc-list Digest, Vol 1, Issue 14 Aluminum Radiators

["Widiker, John D" <john.widiker@xxxxxxx>]

They are high performance cross flow rads, aluminum, no epoxy, fully
brazed units. The manufacturer states that this 2 row aluminum is
comparable to 5 rows of copper tubing in a traditional rad.  

I'm arranging a group buy, and had put the question out there to gauge
interest, seems like there is enough interest to justify moving ahead.
I'll most likely have prdonline host it as they have an existing group
buy process. I'm having one sent to me so that there are pictures of an
installed unit for people to see before plunking down the
money/committing to the purchase. 

For those unfamiliar with the group buy process, several orders are
combined into one bulk order to lower costs. Once we have it posted I
want the bulk buy wrapped up within 30 days, if we don't get enough
orders to proceed 100% of the money placed down will be refunded
immediately at the end of that time period. This should be a decent
balance between waiting for enough orders and not dragging it out
forever.

Radiators

I'd definatley be interested in one for my 72 Gremlin's 401 V8 swap.
When are they planned to be built? I've missed ALOT of this thread! Are
they going to be cross flow or down(like stock)? Cross flow would
actually cool better. VERY interested..WHEN can we oprder/receive
one???? Thanks,Joe
