Correct fan for 70 Barracuda, 383, 22" radiator with shroud??
« on: August 21, 2006 - 04:46:59 AM »
Chrysler Muscle Car Parts Interchange lists # 2863216 (7 blade 18.5") as the correct fan for a 70 Barracuda with 383.  Just after confirmation that this is correct.  Apparently the 22" radiator was available with 383's so I am upgrading its core (was a 318 car) and have bought the shroud to match.

I notice that there are other 18" 7 blade fans available - do people use these (I'm guessing most people use the 26" radiator though).

OZ.............Is your 383 the magnum engine, because my 383 takes a 26" radiator.

383HP, Non a/c, non HD cooling, takes 22" radiator w/shroud and the fan # you listed above. Straight out of the 1970 CC FSM.  :dunno:

thanks guys, 26" radiator probably would have been a better option given I have 2 quotes both around $900 AU to have the 22" recored to handle the heat.  Anyone have thoughts on which is better 3 core with 18 fins per inch or 4 core with 14 fins per inch?

My car seems to do fine @ 95 F plus with the three core even in high humidity.

i wouldnt worry about it being concorse correct as i would having it run cool.i would use mopars five blade clutch fan which will help it run 30% cooler.
