Is there a difference between the Champion radiators and the "American Eagle by Champion" radiators?

 

They are 2 core with 1" tubes vs small 2, 3 or 4 core for their regular rads.

 

Ahh thanks! Looking to see which one to put in my '85 delta. I suppose the biggest one that will fit

 

If you have working A/C then a 3 row would cool your 85 delta. The 2 row 1" tube work well with high volume/flow t-stats and water pumps.
A 2 row would keep it cool without A/C
Hope this helps.

Much help. Really didnt know which one to pick

 

If you take the task on yourself,
Spray the trans lines going to the rad cooler with a good penetrating oil of your choice, for a couple days at least before removal. You will want to use a line wrench. Run some Wynn's cooling system flush, I would, install a new t-stat and rad cap , add water pump lubricant to coolant , change hoses if need be while your at it. Keep the spring in the lower hose and push it into the new lower rad hose if equipped.
Just be sure to get the air locks out of the new rad after install and you will be good to go.
If you run into any problems, many guys have re&re rads here that can help.
Nice, easy and enjoyable job actually .
All the best !

I like the big core 2 row rads, they usually cool better. I had the Champion 3 core in my G body, marginal cooling with my 403, 195 to 205 with a 160 thermostat. Towing would hit 230+ in the heat. The G body takes a 2+" narrower rad which doesn't help. I plan on beating my saddles to fit the A body rad in when I put the 350 back in my 88 Cutlass.
