Champion Radiator CC526 Installed in 68 Barracuda
So my 318 was getting hot on the highway. ..above 225.... I decided to get a bigger better radiator.
Reading here I learned that in 1970, small block mopar water pumps switched to the driver's side. My engine is a 1974 so a standard 68 radiator would not work. A little looking around and I found this Champion model for a 70's Duster.....CC526
I ordered it but long story short, FedEx screwed up so I drove a few miles to the Champion headquarters.
Real nice people and I scored my new radiator!
This morning I swapped it out....
The pictures are just Mopar ****...you all know how to swap a radiator. ..!
This thing cools awesome. ...I need a good hot day to get up on the freeway and really test it, but I believe my cooling issue should be solved.
It fit perfectly and looks great too!
Very happy so far.....I'll update when it gets hot here in SoCal. ...won't be long!
