66 Cuda Radiator

[tony20110]

I'm putting a 360 in my 66 Cuda. Any suggestions on make and model of radiator that would fit and do the job? Thanks in advance.

Do you have an original V8 radiator for the car? If so, you would just need a 64-69 style water pump for the correct hose connections. As far as aftermarket radiators go, try to check out what Mopar vendors that advertise in magazines.

My son's 65 Cuda with a 375 HP 340 uses a 22" 3 row AL rad. Cools OK on the interstate at 70-80 MPH at 80F outside.... which is no where near to using 375 HP BTW! The fan set up is going to be critical for the smaller 22' rad versus a later 26" rad.

How much HP in your 360 and what is it used for? Full time drag racing? Going to the grocery store?

The OEM a/c cars have a 3 row radiator, 6 vane pump, thermostatic fan, shroud, and different pulley system. I only have a 273, summer gets hot here 100+F, never overheated.
