scatpactbee, still waiting for the radiator. I talked to Chris from cold case radiator a couple of weeks ago and they have been extremely busy with current products and it set new product development back a few weeks. I will be talking to Chris towards the end of the month for a update, I do not want to keep bugging him when it's done I will be the first to have one and I will let everyone know how it fits. Yes mine is a 340 with both inlet and outlet on the driver side. The car been down for the last 3 weeks with a bad steering box. Just got a replacement box from Steer and Gear out of Ohio this week and finally got it installed. I wouldn't wish that on anyone what a PITA to replace that box, mine is a power steering box.

I had a power steering box rebuilt by Steer and Gear (stage 3) last winter and installed it this spring. I know what a pain in the butt it is to install.

I purchased a Cold Case rad this past June when I was on the HOTROD Power Tour as they were a vendor at the destination venue on the tour.

I bought the rad as a "back up" because I my Dart was running pretty hot in stop and go traffic with the A/C on, but I managed to get through the tour with my factory rad after I swapped out the Hayden thermostatic clutch with the factory torque clutch which dropped my temperature at idle.

I bought the MOP751A "bolt in" radiator for a '69 Dart small block with cast iron water pump, but noticed the coolant inlet fitting is more inboard than the factory rad by around 1.5 inches I think, which for me will be a problem because the rad hose would now hit my A/C compressor. It also appears that the outlet port is also off from the factory rad. I also don't think that the factory shroud will bolt up despite them telling me it will. I still haven't tried to install it yet.

What is different with the rad your getting? Did they correct these issues I see with mine?
