Getting the upgrade to 26" radiator on a 72 Challenger
« on: March 14, 2017 - 01:57:10 PM »
For the 72 Challenger experts out there - question - Other than the A36 axle package and H51 Air conditioning - what else could you order on a 72 Challenger that would get you automatically upgraded to the larger 26" radiator?

Acquaintance has a 72 base Challenger JH23 with 340/auto. No A/C and no Axle package. Trying to figure out why he has a 26" radiator. Thanks for your help.

I think the 340 gets you the 26.

340 gets it.

Curious... did that change in 73? Cause mine has a 340, and although the radiator it came to me with wasn't the original, it's definitely set up for the 22"

Could be.. My '73 340 was 22" originally

I have a 73 Cuda 340 factory A/C and it has a 26" rad.
