Cold Case 26in Rad fitment
Mocking things up and it looks good to go.
1973 Duster 340. Engineered Cooling Products 26” Small Block Radiator, Hayden 2947, Derale 17118 18” fan.
26" Small Block Mopar Radiator
Low Profile Fan Clutch
Standard Rotation : 18" Standard Rotation Fan Clutch Fan, Black
Fitment issues to overcome with these pieces:
1. The radiator is not quite a direct fit. You have the drill holes so they line up with the factory core support. I have a 26” core support so the smaller 22” core support may be different. Also, this 26” radiator isn’t a true 26”. It’s more like 25” IIRC.
2. The clutch needed some very light filing to get the fan to seat onto the bolt holes. Took about 4 minutes.
3. Install the clutch and fan with the radiator out. Put the radiator in last.
4. I was happy that the overflow bottle fit but I did trim the upper passenger side corner of the radiator to get it just right. Otherwise, it sits off the core support a bit.
