It's time to put a new radiator in my 74 Duster and perhaps an electric fan. Even with "water wetter" it's pushing 200 a lot of the time using a stock radiator and clutch fan. I was wondering if anyone has used an aluminum radiator that fit nicely, either a drop in or with limited modifications necessary. Any brand preferences, 2 or 3 row, etc.?

Howe aluminum two 1 inch core, weld on brackets on a 26x19 and good to go. Mount a set of 11 in twin spals and never look back.

Slightly off topic, but... does anyone know who makes
the Summit brand radiator

Be Cool makes one that is a perfect fit

Smith's Radiator

I spent 30 minutes on the phone today chatting with Tony and I'll be purchasing one with 1.25 tubes for my a-body.

I am running the summit brand 27.5x19 in my big block 73 dodge dart. seems to keep my 11.1.1 pump gas 440 cool. I have not got to do any street driving yet but has never gone over 180 at the track. thanks Mopar65

how do you have it mounted on the bottom?

Call Marc7 radiators, They are AWSOME, kinda spendy, but guarentee what they sell ya wont overheat, and in my case 800 bucks and he said he guarentees me it wont EVER overheat in a cruise night condition in Nebraska 98 degree 99% humidity weather.

$800 ouch

They are awsome though!!

Ive seen them in a few mopars, and they fit like OEM, cool like a big rig, and are a sinch to deal with. they accept ALL factory shrouds too.

If you order one in custom colors it get a little more spendy.

champion rad. great price and warr. work's fine in bb demon.brad

i bought mine off tony smith in cambridge city, indiana. google smith radiator the quality is number one and the price was $565.00. i looked very hard at all different ones and looked at quality and his is tops. i think he is setting up at the monster mopars at indy. trust me you wont be sorry

i bought the down flow cause the cap is in the middle like our mopars. he ships them all over the world

Anybody try a Griffin? They look like a nice radiator.

The Mancini "Muscle Car" down flow 26" aluminum radiator and matching shroud has worked great for me. Its coling a 496B around 550 HP. With AC. I've got it matched up with a thermal clutch fan. It mounts in the stock location and stock repop hoses (NAPA) fit perfectly.

The mechanical fan moves more air than most or all electrics. Unless you have a clearance problem, I'd stay with the mechanical fan. I run mine with the smallish 5 blade low drag fan from MP. I have a bigger 7 blade from a '78 Codoba as backup but haven't needed it.
