The radiators he's asking about are 26" radiators. The 325 shroud he linked to is for a 22" radiator. They are not compatible.
Oops, my bad.....
The radiators he's asking about are 26" radiators. The 325 shroud he linked to is for a 22" radiator. They are not compatible.
I just ordered the Engineered Cooling Products 26” radiator. I’ve read good reviews on it where a short fan clutch was used. The specs are on the speedcooling.com website. The website says it’s out of stock but if you call the number you can order it. The website hasn’t been updated.
That’s the radiator I have. I don’t think I can get any clutch fan in there.
I think the 2947 clutch should work with all small blocks. That’s why Hayden began to manufacture them strictly for small block Mopars to fit the thicker radiators...specifically 2 row 1.25” resulting in a 3” thick unit...ie coldcase. At least from what I’ve read on other forums as well as here. That’s one of the reasons I decided to go that way as I didn’t want to run an electric fan. If I had to go to a direct drive fan I would have.I don’t understand the lack of clearance for the Hayden 2947. Is there a difference between the design of the 22 and 26 radiators? How they fit in the car? Or is it a function of the year of the car? My cold case 22 radiator and Hayden 2947 fit well in my 69 barracuda. I probably have 3/4 inch clearance from the radiator to the fan. I am running a 360 with the aluminum (70 & up) water pump and 7 blade fan.
This is why I created this post. After reading different radiator installations most said that the Hayden clutch would work and it will not. Im going to wait and see what go-fish finds out with the Rad he ordered. But to all trying to install a Cold case MOP750A in a 73+ abody will probably have to use a flex fan or electric fans.
^^^ JackYup. That’s a fact.

I will be trying this radiator 26" Small Block Mopar Radiator in a 1973 340 4 speed Duster. It is 1-1/4" wider than the Cold Case 26" rad. The CC is 24.3" and the Engineered Cooling Products is 25.5" wide. The ECP is 1/8' taller and wider on the overall W x H.
Currently I only have a non-clutch fan and will be ordering a Hayden 2947 today. Anybody have a link to a fan to use?
Radiator should be here next week. $316 - shipped. They have flat rate shipping. The price of the radiator is around $277 + tax. My cc was charged by Entropy Radiators in Florida. I looked at Entropy Radiators website and they don't have any item such as this. They make $1000 + radiators. Maybe ECP is their 'budget" brand?

Damn...that’s tight.I thought it would work but here is what I ran into with a Cold case radiator ordered the Hadyen clutch and there is no way it was going to work. Like Go-fish said the way the CC rad and Campion rad brackets are fixed make the Rad stick out towards the engine too much. Here's the amount of space I had with the rad in the car. not sure if there is something different with 73+ cars View attachment 1715746782

Its against where it would mount like a factory, only problem was the top 2 holes would need to be drilled out. Sure you can remake the brackets if you have fabricating skills but I was told by CC that it would work, without modification and with the factory shroud. Both were incorrect and why I sent it back. If they want to sponsor here, hopefully they will come up with a 26 in rad that will be direct fit for our A bodies.
Man that's tight
