Jeff, thanks for your efforts, hope to see you at the races, big guy.

What radiator will be allowed? Can we buy a custom Don Davis radiator, or does it have to be a plastic tank aluminum core type? That plastic Alum radiator is not a great deal at all. Those leak constantly where the core is crimped to the tank. The only good reason for using one of these is weight savings. They will not last longer

I think your refering to "davis radiator" not don davis as he use to build race cars but used davis radiators....don davis lives here in elpaso and i believe has retired....

Thanks for the correction. It's Ron Davis. Any answers?

Todd, you dont need a new radiator, just a new wheelie bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex, my point exactly. And yet, for many applications, I can get an aluminum radiator, fan, and fan shroud combo for not much more than some of the "cheap" import copper/brass radiators alone.

And in answer to another question, I was not suggesting the plastic tank and aluminum core radiators. What I suggested to NHRA a while back was a direct fit, correct dimension, all aluminum replacement radiator. There is no intent to try to stick postage stamp radiators in old muscle cars. At least not on my part.
