Griffin makes great radiators and so does BeCool.. To what I know many here use the Jegs own aluminium radiator and that works well to..

You probaly also have to make or buy custom radiator support brackets..

the JEGs' ones are for GM and FORD. Will the FORD one fit the CHARGER? (inlet on passenger side)

Like I said in your other thread CB, I believe that it is a direct bolt in except for the brackets which you will have to fab up yourself. Good luck !

I'll be going with a tripple flow radiator from   US Radiator. I've been to the plant in LA to check them out.   It's a copper unit, but it's suppose to cool better than an aluminum radiator because of it's flow charateristic.   who knows if that's true or not. If anyone gets one, let us know how they work, otherwise I'll be the rab rat in about 6 months and let you guys know how it works.

here is their website.     http://www.usradiator.com/cdodge.htm

you can browes their website and learn more about their radiators.     I'll be getting part# 36045 for my 70 daytona.

What's it costing you?

The guy quoted me $475. It may not be your cup of tea, but for me I'll need all the cooling power I can get running a 496 and with the nose cone blocking off most of the airflow.     It's another option to think about.

You know I asked the guy at US radiator about this.  He said the part number I should get for my car is #36045  which is really for E-bodies. It shows on their website that #36045 is good for 70 b-bodies.  I told him that my car even though it's a 70, is really like a 68 or 69 charger.  What do you think? I should probably go with the #35220 model right?  There are no physical differences up front between a 69 charger and a 70 charger radiator support is there?  Even though the guy said I should get #36045, I still think the #35220 is made to fit chargers better.
