FYI, 521 and 510 radiators are nearly identical. They are the same shape, but have different mountings. All holes line up though. I know, I installed a 510 radiator in my friends 521.

 

So you might change the title to "WANTED: 521 or 510 Radiator"

champions are made in china but the company really stands behind their product

with a lifetime limited warranty. as well as their products are very high quality workmanship.

 

i JUST ordered the 510/521/620 radiator from them.

the cheapest i found was on ebay. 208 including shipping, compared to

218, 230, and higher.

 

thats for the 3 row, all aluminum, tig welded 19x10x2 core size.

 

the company i went with was Kool Radiators

 

he put me on to American Eagle Radiator, which is the SISTER company of

champion radiators. AE has the same radiator but with 2 rows of 1", meaning

it cools just about as well as the 3 core, but for $170 (180 shipped to me.)

 

the part number you are looking for is 487.

if you want the champion rad it is cc487

if you want the american eagle rad its ae487

same warranties as theyre pretty much the same company but marketed with

different names.

 

btw i bought it for my 620 because it does say itll fit a 73 620 but like i was actually

told before, 510 rads wont fit in the 620.

 

620 rad is 17x13, which means ill lose 20 something square inches of surface area.

but itll still be an improvement over my old leaky rad.

 

the overall dimensions of the 487 rad is 22"

 

sorry for the long blurb
