360 swap radiatior

[cooooledart]

I'm putting a 360 magnum into a 1969 dart, the slant 6 radiator hose hits the fan. What radiator should I get? Oem or aftermarket. Thanks.

I got a cheap 22 inch aluminum from ebay
Mounting holes and hoses all line up fine and it keeps my 408 just a hair past the center of the gauge

Do you mean spigot? A rad shop can cut your's out, patch it and put a new one off to the side.
But the sixer rad is a little small for a 360, unless the engine is factory stock, and no A/C.Still in CA it might be dicey on hot days.
If you are buying new, do not buy a 69 rad, the outlet is on the wrong side for your waterpump. Order carefully.

I called US Radiator, told them my build, horsepower, A/C, trans and which hose comes out where for the 5.9. They built me a beautiful, stock-looking, 4-row radiator that bolted right in.

Later I made a shroud to fit it. I did initially have the 11-blade truck fan in it, but it was too loud. It sounded like an airplane taking off. I swapped it out for a 5 blade fan that cools the car very well, and is much quieter.
