Plymouth Duster Cooling Suggestion

[KP]

I am installing a BB in my 1971 Plymouth Duster and was wondering what the best cooling radiator that I could buy that would be a direct bolt bolt in.

Thank You!

Champion seems to make decent aluminum bolt in radiators. I have one in my 68 Dart 340 and it works very well. Just had to oblong one of the mounting holes on the flange

also, don't forget to put a shroud on there and a good fan
it all works together

Maybe not the cheapest but it certainly works

Along with those I'll add it's also good to have a hood to radiator seal and cowl seal. It all works together.

I got my Summit radiator from Summit, LOL.
I'll have to get you a picture up. It was inexpensive.

With any AL radiator, use a very good coolant and change it every 2-3 years. The electrolysis is such that the AL radiator is the sacrificial metal, not the iron block. With a brass radiator, the iron block is sacrificial and so brass rads lasted a long time. Any rad like the Champions can be worse for eletrolysis because they are solid AL, and the rad connects directly to the steel frame. Make sure you have a couple of good ground straps with very clean connections to ground the block to the chassis to reduce the corrosion in any AL rad.
