    Soon to be a 'Cuda owner - again
    « on: September 18, 2016 - 02:43:48 AM »
    Hi everyone, my name is Ray. I have owned 1965 383 Dodge Coronet 500 then went into a brand new 1972 340 'Cuda back in the day. Have been a Mopar man for decades but got trapped into the Import scene with my 3000GT VR-4 lol
    I have always wondered what happened to my 'Cuda and tried to trace it as far as I could legally. The license plate number showed it in the Riverside area of California.
    At-any-rate protective laws make it understandably impossible to find your old cars to buy them back.
    So I now plan to buy another 70's 'Cuda within the next month making it "mandatory" to join this fantastic forum.

    Well exciting news for me! I finally got my Cuda about two weeks ago. 1971 360 A518 trans 3:91 sure grip. Very happy with it but have a ton of questions for you guys. Trying to find a radiator place that actually takes the top off aluminum radiators rods them out and then tig welds the top back on correctly. So far all the radiator shops I've contacted either only do that with copper brass or suggest I buy a new aluminum one. Anyway here are a few pics

    Nice!  Congrats!  For your radiator, by the time you do all that and pay for it you would be far better off just buying a new one.

    Great looking car, is that a Sanders AC compressor? I am looking at going with the same type, got a Shaker Scoop and I will have to make it all fit.

    Sorry I have no idea it came with the car. I will take a look at it later to see if I can find any markings on it to identify the company.

    On your radiator? Some of the old radiator shops will have a "Rate of flow machine" It will measure the (GPM) gallons per minute. Small blocks should run around 28-32 GPM. Having owned a radiator shop years ago, Top tank removal and rodding out is a thing of the past.
