LOL all of mine could be angled the same, never did look that closely. They fit great, don't leak, and cool great, so if the tubes are angled it works well

 

I'd be curious if there is some reason they're angled, i.e., on purpose. To clear something internally? It's certainly not going to affect thermal performance.

 

I've put 8,000 miles on my truck in the last year with a champion radiator and it hasn't missed a beat.

 

How is that going to effect the cooling, what am I missing..?

 

There's always one guy at the car meets with a level making sure your cooling tubes are 100% straight......Jesus.

 

You'd never see the ones in mine, A/C condenser in front and fan shroud on the inside..

 

I've seen that guy!

 

Yea, well I guess I'm just picky that way.

The be cool radiator I ordered didn't work out either, it mounted cocked by a 1/4" with no flanges to mount the shroud, which they suggested I have to mount an electric fan to handle the HP.

I guess the next stop is walker works, hopefully that's going to be the last stop in getting this cooling system done.

 

I talked to U.S. radiator, seem to be nice and not priced too bad.
maybe take a look

 

It's a crooked ruler

 

Hi F1 coyote, Do you live within driving distance of any radiator supplier.(one of the regular vintage ford vendors or otherwise) If so it would allow you to inspect the individual part to see if it meets your needs b4 acceptance? Good luck.

 

I'm wondering if there is a forum for radiator suppliers who are posting don't fulfill any orders from THIS guy......

My guess it's going to be a long time before you get your cooling system in order, unless God Almighty opens a radiator shop. However, come to think of it, even He might not be able to meet your expectations.

 

Well I just got to say it. I guess it takes a real half @$$'er to appreciate another!!!

 

I don't think anyone was really trying to personally give you a hard time. With all of the good reports that company has had with a lot of the builds done with their product your comment to "not use them" for the reason you were rejecting the product was silly. The "defect" can hardly be seen unless you put the ruler there. It most likely doesn't effect the cooling function. Unless you pointed it out once installed even an "ACCA" judge probably wounldn't notice it. It is almost hard to believe you rejected 3 versions of this from one company and didn't like one from another company. This is suppose to be a fun hobby and most members on here want things done right and to look good but not to the point of being detriminal to the hobby.
We all enjoy seeing and hearing about projects and builds. Ask questions, give advice, post pictures, make mistakes but don't get upset when someone disagrees with you. Hell the differences of opinions are what makes this a great forum.
Hope to see more of your build soon.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a product that meets generally accepted standards, aesthetically as well as thermal performance.
