    Radiator Recommendations
    « on: September 23, 2015 - 08:07:39 AM »
    I have a 72 challenger with a 1968 440. Looking to get a radiator. I was thinking of getting OEM looking radiator because it is black and would match what im doing in the engine bay as far as color combo. But i wanted to hear what other people are using and what works. Not against aluminum either. Right now thinking of using a traditional fan off the water pump to cool it down.

    Any sugestions are appreciated

    Thanks!

    I happened to have a 27" radiator from a 74 Road Runner.  It was clean but needed some paint.  I painted it and then installed it in my 70 Cuda.  It barely fit but lined up perfect.  It really keeps the engine cool.

    can you go aluminum and paint it black?
