Put a Champion 526 radiator in a 71 swinger?

This is the size it called for my dart except I got a thicker 4 core.

Which ended up being so thick I couldn't use the clutch fan setup anymore.

Which was ok with me and I installed two fans in front of the radiator for a cleaner look.

As far as sticking a b-body radiator in your a body a tape measure or test fit will tell

The new radiator actually sat a little lower than the original so it had extra hood clearance


The radiator I used was a champion MC2374 22in 4 core rated at 650hp.





I couldn't see getting the 26in one and having to make modifications , 650 hp is plenty enough cooling for me.


I use two of these fans from summit mounted in front of the radiator to get a cleaner look and not have the fans kicking on near me when doing tuning to the car
