Does anyone know of a direct fit aluminium radiator for a 63 Dodge B body big block? I'm after something that has the top tank that looks like the factory radiator, that could be painted black and pass as a factory radiator at a glance. Would also have to use the factory mounts and mount the factory shroud.

I've seen that Be Cool make this sort of radiator for GM A bodies, anyone make such a product for Mopars?

Thanks for that, however I can get a radiator like that here in Australia.

What I'm after is something that looks like the original radiator, with the stamped top tank. Something like this from Be Cool:

I have a BE-COOL in my Camaro...I hate it..cant cool my sb with a blower even with 4 spal fans on it...

worse investment I ever made on overpriced junk..

look at those Champions...they are all welded and they are guaranteed..

the other one I like is in my Duster...thats a Northern Dual pass...thats an awesome radiator too

That's what I'm after, thanks Andy. Is that a custom job, or do you have a part number for it?

It is a standard part number.

I ordered mine with an oil cooler in the lower tank which was an option. Most people put a tranny cooler down there or no cooler at all but I wanted an engine oil cooler.

Mancini also offers a stamped top tank aluminum radiator, 22" and 26". I'm running the 26" with great results with a 496 B.

I sent Griffin my radiator out of my 66 Satellite to copy. They installed a trans cooler in the bottom for me to use in my 66 Hemi car I had them make it 2 rows 1 1/2" for a total of 3" thick--It works!!! I did this around 1998. .
