I think that 054 radiator is going to be expensive too, becuase it goes on all the high end stuff that year.

Is yours an "N51" code Car ?
Factory A/C Car ?


Our '69 R/T SE 440/auto with NO A/C, and Non "N51" code is the 22" Rad Part#2949053 that's still factory original, and it cools our original UN-built 440 Magnum just fine even in 90* Bumper to Bumper traffic etc., no problems at all !

That said,
It would seem with the amount of people who seem to be having "overheating" problems these days with ANY Radiator ?,(even the repop 054 26" radiators?), I am somewhat suspicious of either tuning issues ? or the actual quality/cooling capacity of ANY repop Radiator ?

How in the heck could the factory stock stuff have cooled the Cars just ducky 50 years ago, and still does today(ours), yet so many these days with rebuilt/restored Engines and repop Rads seem to be having cooling issues ?
