    Radiator that will fit my 64 barracuda for a 340 upgrade

    The bottom hose is on the driver side, the top hose is on the driver side of cap to clear my AC. I believe the water pump is the 69 style. I changed it to match up with the radiator that was in the car. Now I know the current radiator is for a mustang and was mickey moused and too small. So I'll...

    Radiator that will fit my 64 barracuda for a 340 upgrade

    I am leaning towards the 3 row. The 4 row feels like overkill for my 340. I have a stock mechanical fan now, and a pusher electric fan that kicks on when the AC is on. I'll start with that. If it over heats, I'll replace the mechanical fan with the Derale shroud and fan, with their variable...

The Champion MC64DT radiator dimensions appear to be correct for my 1964-1/2 white/gold 340 mild cam 3.91 gears push button auto barracuda except the top inlet would have to be moved to the driver's side because of my aftermarket AC. Ledfoot racing will sell me the...

    I am swapping my 273 for a 340 into my 1964-1/2 barracuda automatic push button. Looking for recommendations on what radiator will fit. I am concerned about the radiator cap hitting my hood.

    Thermostat and housing

    This is what was on the intake with no thermostat. It came with a o-ring and no recess for a thermostat. Is there a Motorad style with the t-stat recess like the 4830kt housing but with the neck at this angle so I don't have to buy a new top radiator hose? Most pics on the internet don't show...
