Is yours a 22" or 26" rad? They do not make one (yet) for the 26" Mopar radiators.

EC1635

The filler neck is about an inch too high so i had to notch out the bottom rad support to make it fit though. Back when I bought it, the product picture had a recessed filler neck but it actually looks like this: http://www.championradiators.com/page/424788098


This actually looks like a better fit since it is 2-1/2" shorter (16") all you would need is a passenger side water pump which is easy to find. http://www.championradiators.com/page/423049046
 
How big are the rows? I bought one from Wizard cooling a couple of years ago. I dont use any fans and my temp stays around 190. I am looking to buy one for my Demon but dont want to pay big $ again.
 
I have 3 row in my 67 notch and had a couple of installation issues. Filler neck about a 1/4" too high, had to redrill 2 holes but worse thing is the threads for the A/T were horrible meaning the very first time I hooked up the tranny lines,one of the fittings stripped out and leaked quite badly. Had to get 5/16th hose to connect the rad to tranny line.
On the upbeat, cools really well.

I noticed the dicey lookin threads for the cooling lines on my champion. I want to chase them before I hook anything up, does anybody know what size threads those are?

Never had this problem with mine, thank god. But I do have a lift off hood, but still clears.

Good to hear Gary,how much for a 22" 2 row with the 1" pipes for my 69barracuda ? will a stock shroud fit on with or without some "adjustments"

22" tow row is $150 + shipping. Shipping to Canada is $65.99 Should fit without any modifications, although you may need to redrill lower mounting holes - I did for the 70 Challenger I am building

Ledfoot changed the part number ; it is actually just 1635 and their description reads 1635 66 DART 22" CORE ALL ALUMINUM RADIATOR. And if the height is your concern, the 2375 is actually about 1-3/4" shorter
 
2374 looks perfect for my application. thanks seabee.
21 inches tall should do the trick I hope

sounds good pm me with the ordering info and your paypal info or your # if your set up for me to call and use VISA - thanks Chris
 
+1 for the AT cooler threads being crap. I wrapped the hell out of my nipples with teflon tape, sealing fine for now, but i wouldn't trust it for a road trip. Better plan on heli-coil or epoxy thread repair, if you can even do either of those. The threads aren't even the same diameter, but both are rather terrible :sad3:
 
I loved it for the short time I had it.I started the car last night and set the timming.Everything was going good until I reved it up to 5000 rpm.The fan blade fliped backwards and right into the rradiator.I have pictures,never thought that would happen. Mark
