Cold Case 26in Rad fitment
Got the radiator in and installed. Had to drill two holes in the radiator flange to match up to my core support. The lower bolts didn't quite match up either but since the washer is big they clamp down on the radiator flange. I called the number on the Engineered Cooling Products page and left a message. They are supposed to be in Chicago. I got a call back from a guy in Florida with Entropy Radiators. The billing and the packaging said entropy. Guess they bought them or something? The guy said the website was wrong and the Small Mopar 26" is in stock. Just have to call.
The radiator core is actually 24.5" not 26" Kind of bummed about that but Cold Case's 26" radiator isn't 26" either. The fins on the engine side looked a little beat up but the grille side looked fine. Nothing that would affect operation. I was thinking about painting it but don't want it to flake later and look cheezy so I'm just going to leave it bare.
I was going to buy a new 2947 but one popped up on here and it should be here in a few days. Thanks @PredaFran ! I was going to wait till that came in to post pics. I did mount up a non-thermal clutch that is 2.75" tall and it fit with 1.5" to spare.
I bought a b-body shroud for a 26" radiator. It's mounting holes are a little wide and I don't know if the fan hole will be in the right spot but it was $40 so I'm taking a chance. If it doesn't work my Dad's b-body needs a shroud so I will give it to him. It's being shipped so it'll be here later.
I am ordering a Derale 6 blade fan. This one: Derale Cooling Products 17118 Derale Clutch Fans | Summit Racing
Hopefully I'll have pics of the 2947, the Derale fan, and the radiator clearance early next week.
