    Radiator recommendations

    Here is my aluminum radiator that has served me well for a number of years. You will find people complaining about every brand and this one is no exception but I'm happy so far. I wanted a more factory look so I hit it with ultra high heat grill paint. 26″ Big Block Mopar Radiator

    Electric fan recommendations?

    I havnt used one myself but the fans from 87-93 (I think) ford tauras/sable with 3.8 v6 have a big following. a quick search with get lots of hits. Although new they are not much cheaper than the one recommended

    Radiator Overflow Reservoir

    I used this Carlisle giveaway water bottle with 2 90 deg hose barbs, and yes, a bike water bottle holder to make a subtle and functional tank that sits behind the headlight. I cut away the plastic top and drill 2 holes and used JB weld to hold the barbs.

    Underhood heat

    Thanks for the pics. That chin spoiler is pretty subtle. The optimal one would be very noticeable so somewhere in seems best. I got a factory one from a junked late model and am considering a trimmed version of this as an option. But not before I take care of some tuning.

    1970 C-body 22" radiator shroud (P/N 2998 330 )

    If you are not a purist you could make a shroud that would be customized to your setup. My shroud was on a 22" radiator and when I got a 26" I just added left and right sheet metal to make the shroud bigger. The extensions are actually not that noticeable. Similarly you could make the entire...

    Underhood heat

    Yes, I watched the temp in front of the radiator before I replaced on the cheap. I used HDPE from a fertilizer spreader but other polyethylenes will work. I think they even sell sheets of it now. Black drainage tubes made of it too. I can confirm that it is very heat resistant because I had to...

    Underhood heat

    A couple things that have been discussed but I wanted to confirm helped me with my non-stock 440 with headers. After consulting with a few guys at shows I tried a 160 stat. Now the engine runs 175-180 and maybe 190 on 95 deg days. My engine was running warm because the front was leaky and air...

    My 69 has a 440 but not an original radiator.. But it is 26 and it does have a passenger side opening. I used Gates 20630.

    Aluminum Radiators

    I used the same brand radiator on my 440. But no fans. Of course its out of stock. Painted it black to blend in. Works well. not the greatest pic

    Question about trans coolers??

    I painted the fins of my brand new aluminum radiator with Rustoleum High Heat grill paint which is flat and everything else High Heat Ultra which is a nice semi-gloss. Although I did no scientific testing I did a bunch of research and while it seems like a bad thing as long as its heat resistant...

    Question about trans coolers??

    If you search for stacked plate vs tube and fin coolers (like the jegs 60363) you will find they both work but Plate types are smaller per amount of cooling. I have this cooler that fits nicely in front of the radiator (no ac) with SS flexible lines. Mounted with L shaped aluminum from Lowes so...

    Its radiator time

    And in black. I also adapted my 22" shroud so that helps too. Black kinda hides that non-factory look. 2+ years ago when I did mine I did not have choices mentioned above. They look nice too.

    Its radiator time

    I have one but without the fans. Quality was great and fitment was good although my application called for some creativity as my car was a small block car initially with 22" radiator and smaller opening in core support. So cant vouch for plug and play fitment. It did match my 22" mounting holes...

    71 Fury III Radiator recommendations?

    Yes, I think you got it. Based on where your upper radiator hose connects to the radiator I would say you have the 26 small block by their definition. They have dimensions for each one once you click on it. Looking at those will help understand what they are saying about core vs overall...

    71 Fury III Radiator recommendations?

    I went from a 22 with a leak in the neck to a 26 from speedcooling.com It is indeed one of the cheap aluminums people are speaking of. Working great and seems well made but I can see how people could get a bad one. Welds look average. But after some black paint I'm happy so far. Of course from...
