Did some quick looking around and found nothing. Plenty available for /6, and even a few for 383, but no small blocks to be found. I don't care if it's aluminum, just needs to have the inlet and outlet in the right place (68 barracuda)

Are you looking for original rad or after market stuff. I think i have a spare '69 small block bcuda rad. Can look and get tank number.


I'm the CARETAKER of Weinstats '69 440 'cuda registry and have 104 of the 360 cars to date. 84 fastbacks/20 coupes. Always looking for new(REAL M-code) '69 440 'cudas to add to the registry so drop me a note if any are found or known. This isn't a publicly released registry. Thanks, Dave

Not for anything, but if your just looking for something that will work. I bought one from advanced auto for a later year. Then took it to a radiator shop and for 20$ they moved the inlet for me to make it work... or buy mine!

I'm currently swapping a 360 in place of my 273 so the lower hose is on the opposite side for me again.

these were the first places I googled and they did not have them.

But thanks for the other links, now I have some decisions to make. Seems that aluminum rads have a (much?) shorter life than the old school copper/brass units. I have a stock 3 core unit in the car now, but it always runs close to Hot and then I'm fighting vapor lock. I've never had the tanks off this radiator, but what you can see through the neck doesn't look horrible. 5 blade fan with viscous clutch works properly and is 1/3 inside shroud and 2/3 out as recommended.

EDIT: I've got a 9.5" Dynamics converter in the 904 also, maybe I need to divorce the trans lines from the radiator to keep some trans heat out of the radiator? I'm running 2 medium sized trans coolers in front of the radiator now. Looks like some of the replacements are only set up for manual trans anyways.

I had Smith's Radiator in Cambridge City, Indiana build my alum. radiator. I'm running a 432 c.i. Hemi in my Barracuda with NO water pump fan and the car never runs hot, generally 185 degrees. If I get stuck in traffic the temp. will come up but the electric fan brings the temp. right back down. My electric fan only runs when the temp. reaches 200 and shuts off at 180.

They specialize in Mopar radiators so give them a call. 765-478-5325
