Good radiator just needs better fitment
When I went to install the oem brackets for the 1972 Buick skylark needed to be moved over about an inch to fit. Do not expect to be a swap in and swap out, small bends and cuts will be made in order for a good fitment.

Great fit, but big problem
I bought this radiator for my 1987 Buick Regal Grand National. According to the fitment list, this should be a correct radiator for my car. It fit great with no modifications needed. However, the Grand National comes with an automatic transmission AND an oil cooler hook up on the stock radiator. This Champion radiator only has connections for the transmission cooler lines. Also, the transmission cooler lines connect to the front passenger side of the stock radiator, but the Champion radiator has the connections on the back passenger side... so the stock lines wont work. And, the Champion radiator has smaller threading for the transmission cooler lines than the factory lines came with, so no I will have to splice my transmission cooler lines and find an adaptors to make those connections. I also had to order an external cooler for the engine oil since there is no place to connect the oil cooler lines to the Champion radiator.
All in all, the product LOOKS great, but has caused me some major headaches.
