That looks exactly like the one i bought on Ebay for my car....fits great and bolts into the stock location if you originally had a 26in core opening. I haven't run the car yet but i'm sure it will work just as good as any other dual pass high flow aluminum rad.  :2thumbs:

One of the members here has the same radiator in his car and had good reports on it.

Does this radiator clear the stock clutch fan set-up on the 440?
The same envelope and fit?

How do you know it fits your car? I don't see a word about which car it fits on the whole site...  :scratchchin:

That looks just like the one I install in my 69 charger. Fits almost perfect. The only thing I did was to file/drill a little in one of the brackets who attach the radiator to the car. I have the heavy duty clutch fan and it's no problem. The fan cover bolts not directly on. Have to drill new holes in the plastic stock cover. Think some 1970 charger fan covers is bolt on.

Then I paint it with etching paint then the eastwood radiator paint - gives a stealth look  :2thumbs:

It's cooling my 520 with no problems...

John, for some reason i could not get mine to work with a clutch fan setup. I ended up using an electric pusher fan.  :yesnod:


Another member used the same rad in his car with a clutch fan and shroud :

I just purchased that radiator and got the twin fans with it. It looks great but haven't installed it yet. I will let you know my thoughts on it in a  few weeks. I figured for the price it would be worth taking the chance.  :icon_smile_wink:

I had to "massage" the fan shroud to get it to fit correctly.  I also had to install the backing nut without the holder as the flange was wider than the clip.  Running in the shop and outside yesterday it seems to cool very well.  I have a Mancini Racing high flow water pump and housing.  Inside a closed building with the exhaust out the door it would reach 185 and didn't fluctuate.

From the front.  I bought another that I'm planing on using in my '67 GTX.
