Radiator Question for the Guru's

I remember parting out a /6 68 Barracuda about 1980. It had a small radiator (19"?) with a metal panel on the side to fill in the wider opening. Bigger rad was used with V-8 cars that needed a larger radiator.

My point is, your 74 will probably take the 22" radiator no problem. Why don't you borrow it, get it home, take some measurements and see if it will fit? Also check hose inlet and outlet location.

In the mean time, take your 19" to a rad shop and have them test it and give you an estimate. Those things were run for years in LOTS of /6 cars without issue. I know mine works fine.

It's about 10 days til the Nats. Lots of time to get this done in time.
