My 1971 R/T Challenger originally came with a 22" radiator (383 4 speed, non air). Unfortunately my car's original radiator is long gone. I understand finding an original 1971 B/E body big block, 22", manual tranny radiator is difficult and expensive. I'm looking at aftermarket repops but I'm confused as to the radiator's correct outlet locations. From the repop radiator websites they're showing the upper and lower radiator outlets are both on the left(driver's) side for my big block 22" application. (Kinda looks like a small block application). Shouldn't the upper radiator outlet be on the right(passenger) side? Anyone know of a company that sells a fairly original looking(not universal) and affordable 22" radiator (aluminum is OK) with the correct mounting brackets installed? Thanks.

Yes they both are on the drivers side of the car. When you had the 26" one it was on the passenger side. I have a restored/recored 2998954 radiator if your interested. It has a 3-row core in it. I guess it also depends on if your restoring your car or if its just going to be a nice driver. If you go with a aftermarket one remember, cheap doesn't get you quality. And when it gives you problems, good luck getting your cash back. Bob Schirmer Glen-ray Radiators 1.800.537.3775 1.715.842.3352
