Got an 83 Ram Charger with a 440 today!

sireland67,
Its been since about 1993 when I was stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia that I took a radiator in to be cleaned out, repaired and painted. If I remember correctly I paid less than $180 back then for the work done on my 69 Coronet 440 that had a 318 in it. I think I may go that route again and as a last resort, get a replacement. The Texas heat does have me concerned, but while in the Army I have live in Georgia, (humid), Fort irwin, CA (120 degree dry heat) and now Texas for the second time. Always in the heat and thats how I like it. No snow or road salt like up north, haha.
