Hello!
I have a question about radiators. My old copper radiator leaked all over and I need to replace it. So I've searched the radiator for 1975 360 Newport but did not found anything. So I tried to find something for Mopars and found aluminum Champion radiators for Dodge. So I wonder, will this model EC374 2 row radiator

fit my small block 360 in Newport?
Thank you.
 
I just noticed something strange. The Champion radiator for the 74-78 C-bodies (which I have) is no longer listed....
 
Yes, I can't find direct fit, so I'm trying to find a replacement part.
 
Well, I checked with them and yes, it was discontinued but there is remaining stock floating around out there.
Here's one on ebay.
The good: it should fit your Newport.
It fit my '76 440 New Yorker and I can't imagine the radiator support being different.
The bad: the mounts for the fan shroud will most likely be wrong for your 360.
And you can't run that car without the shroud.

Do you know a TIG welder?

The worst thing is that bigblock radiator inlet is on the passenger side, and on small block it is on the driver side. I don't want to buy a part, that I need to weld right after I receive it )))))
 
So go to the radiator shop and have yours re- cored. Twice as much as the aluminum but it's an option and it's original
 
I just picked up a champion for a formal on ebay. I believe the top port is on the passenger side for my 360 though??
