69 RT Radiator

[James K]

Need some help. My 69 RT 440 is overheating badly. I am going to replace the radiator, hoses, water pump, and thermostat, and I also believe the fan is not stock and the shroud is missing (I am sure that is some of my problem right there). My 440 is, I believe a 1970 . I have looked at parts for the car and they say there are 2 different radiators. What I need to know is what radiator do I need? Do any of you have the parts numbers for these items and a catalog number from a aftermarket company (e.g., Classic Industries or Year One). This is an A/C car, but w/o the compressor (which I will add later).

Thank to all that respond, y'all have been very helpful in the past.

Here is a good link on the radiators, my 69 RT SE 440 with ac and 3.23 gears has the 055 radiator as well as a friend of mines 69 RT SE almost built the same as mine also has the 055 radiator, mine was originally a two core but was recored with a 4 core. I remember that Red Kilbys 69 RT SE sunroof charger had the 054 radiator.

The original fan for my car is the 2863216 18.5" with fan clutch.

What are the differences??
Quite a few of you have the 055 radiator on a '1969 .
I have a 1968 Charger R/T 440 with auto and A/C.  The 26" radiator is a 2898 047.
Does one cool better than the other?
