Radiator tips for 67 Dart with 440

mopar-racer said

I've got a 67 Dart with a mildly built 440, aluminum heads. Constantly have had cooling problems ever since I bought it. Main issue is the clearance I have which is a snug 5".
Proform has been mentioned to me since they have the slim fit radiator assembly at only 4" including the fan and shroud, but don't want to drop that amount of money if it's not for sure gonna fix it. Thanks!View attachment 1715910919

Brother here! :lol:I wouldn't call your 440 a completely mild 440. As it has been consistent 11.70-11.80s for you and the PO knocked off some low 11s? Yes, it is still pump gas but you have a pretty decent solid cam in there and id guess 10-1 CR at the minimum.

Knowing the car a little bit. This Rad setup does not allow room for a mechanical fan unfortunately. He has tried. It has two smaller (10"??) electric fans with unknown cfm rating. Unfortunately he may be stuck buying a new rad. Just to fit the proper fan/shroud setup under the hood.

From my minimal research Cold Case and ECP seem to be the rave lately? Any feedback for him?
