I'm also getting my radiator re-cored. Car is non A/C, 3.23 rear. What size would my rad have been from the factory? The one in there is about 18 inches....I thought it would have been 22. Don't have a buildsheet to check.

Any help will be appreciated.

The believe the radiator should be a 22", 2949053...

Here's a picture of Gary's former C500... Hope this helps.......

Thanks Troy. is there supposed to be a part number stamped somewhere on it?

 The one in my 500 is a "26"  that needs a core and a bottom tank. :'(

Yeap, there's a part number stamped in the upper tank on the passenger side, you can vaguely make it out on this picture..

Here is a pic of mine (was in my father-in-law's Super Bee), showing the number. Tony's Parts lists them (if available) for $345.

Dang, my radiator is probably not the right one for the car. looks the same as the one in the photo Troy put up, but doesn't have the flat pads on top and no part number anywhere to be seen.

here's a picture of my radiator before the engine was pulled from the car. Definitely a different rad, now I better look for the right one. Thanks for the info guys, very helpful. Did the 22 inch radiators normally come with a fan shroud?

Hi Troy, Its a 26". What I think I am going to do is get a repro and see if the top tank will swap.

Al, is your car a 055 or an 054 radiator? I don't recall and I can't seem to find a copy of the sheet to your car around here any more either.
