1969 dart bb 440 alum heads 10.6 comp street strip car whats a good radiator for cooling it ?

My 65 440 12.5 runs a Champion 22 inch.Flex fan and never gets over 180.Ran about as cool with the 65 C body rad and shroud till the jack slipped and broke it.For under 150 bucks great rad.Rocky

Champion keeps coming up as the best for the cost

Got mine off Ebay.Was like 150 shipped.Only thin I had to do was change upper hose and use an adapter on lowr as mine was 13/4.Had to go to 1 1/2.Cost was like 7 bucks and used upper from my brothers mini van just cut it to fit.Rocky

lol

Most of the overheat threads are replete with Champion radiators.

Most overheats I have read about are either elec fans or clutch fans.yeah be like my budy over a grand for his becool and fans.Ny 150 buck champion runs cooler even though his is 26 inch.Rocky

One of the issues with stuffing a big engine in a small engine compartment is poor air flow. I'd advise taking special care that any air getting in the front of the car goes through the radiator, not around.

Supercuda never likes anything. That's his nature.

Zippy that may be a good deal if you want a cross flow. My Champion Rad is a down flow and it looks right in my Dodge.

I've had good luck cooling with my Champion BUT, the fit is terrible. It took me a week to modify how it bolted in (sat too high & hood wouldn't close) and hack up a factory-style shroud to fit it....but it cools OK.

I've had one Champion, a 2 row for $189 to my door (eBay) & it cooled OK but a bone stock 318 ain't gonna test it. I did have to redrill another hole in the drivers side flat flange for mounting but no biggie. I hear the oblong tubes are a bit smaller than normal radiators and that side flanges can be warped. I would check that right off the bat (warpage) & return it if needed but I'm sure I will get another Champion in the future.
