I think my radiator is getting clogged up. I was wondering if they make a 3 row radiator and if so can you guys send a link for one. I’m doing a 3800sc swap in the future but for now it’s a 2.8 4 speed the car is running around 220 degrees on the highway at 60+mph city driving it’s around 225-230 fan does come on and goes off at 190-200 degrees.

A lot of folks will tell you the Champion 3 row radiator, it is tried and true. I however went a different route and got a similar looking 3 row radiator for less money. It has done its job.

Looks just like the Champion and for less $$$. If I were to guess its made in the same Chinese factory and rebranded. I'd go for it. ------------------

FWIW, my research has shown that 2 row aluminum radiators, each row with the 1" larger tubes, cools better than the 3 row, where you have tubes smaller than 1". The larger surface area is supposed to help dissipate the heat. I went with the two row American Eagle ( made by Champion) on 3 of my cars, and also on 2 Fiero's, and have been very happy with them. They show out of stock as of today, but you might want to contact them. You might also contact patriotcooling, an Ebay seller where I have bought mine in the past. They may be able to track one down as well.
If they are unavailable, I'm sure the 3 row will do fine. Either one will take a little massaging to geet to fit, but nothing terrible.

Very likely....as Champion's website shows both radiators for the Fiero, and specs the 3-core capable of cooling up to 450hp and the 2-core capable of cooling up to 600hp
