radiator question
« on: February 20, 2010 - 08:17:48 PM »
i am not sure if i am posting this in the right area, but i am trying to find out what the radiator in my 71 cuda is. the # on it is 3574656 and 20446.i was running the car today and it seems ok but i think it will eventually need to be redone.

You have a 72 C-body Police/Taxi w/ 400 or 440, Auto and A/C radiator.

Not numbers correct for your car, but probably a decent one. I'm betting it's a 3-row.

thanks QM, it looks just like an e body bb rad. like i said it seem to be working good but doesnt look that great and was wondering if it was worth getting redone when the time comes.

I'm not totally into the "correct" numbers thing for my cars and if my rad has a pentastar, a part number and all the hoses in the right place, I call it good.

Who wants to spend $1200 on the "right" radiator?

If it were me, I'd have the C-body one recored. Still not cheap, but not $1200.  :swaying:

Probably good enough, C-bodies had the HD stuff
