Does anyone know where to buy an aftermarket radiator to fit a 1969 Charger with 22 inch radiator suport?  I have seen everyone sell 26 inch radiators, but cannot find a good 22 inch to fit.  Aluminum or brass, with as little modification to the rad. support.  a 3 core would be great also since I will be cooling a 440 .40 over.  Any help would be great.

I dont think anyone repros the 22" such as Modine or similar.  You might want to try a Be Cool radiator as they custom make them I think.  Be sitting down when you get ready to hear the price.

a 65 -66 chrysler has a 3 core 22" that will work. top tank is the same , or have a 3 core put in a 22"round tank.

Will the 65-66 Chrysler bolt right up without drilling? Do you know what manufacturer sells 3 core repo's? Thanks.

Stock 22" radiators and big blocks just don't mix well, especially in warmer climes.

Save yourself a headache in the long run:  Either upgrade to a quality aftermarket rad, or modify your rad support for a 26-inch.

I have a 3 core 22 inch out of a 65 plymouth in my 68 R/T. I have never had and over heating issue. Car also has stock 7 blade fan and no shroud.

I would like the 26", but the radiator support is freshly painted and I do not want to modify it.  68 RT - does that bolt right up?
