    Mopar used a 22" rad on the 383 R/T / Cudas so a 22" in good condition will cool your engine , the AAR & T/A used a 26" rad , not sure about 4 bbl E bodys

    Does your car have air conditioning?  Cars with air conditioning always came with a 26" radiator.

    My '72 Cuda 340 has a 22" radiator, and it used to keep it cool just fine when it was stock. The engine has since been "warmed over" and the 22" radiator still keeps things cool if the outside temp is under 90 degrees.

    Why, yes it does!  Thanks for answering that for me!
