who makes a good aluminum radiator for a 22" core support? all I see is ones for 26+. does anyone also have any pics of them installed in their cars? how did you hook up the trans cooler lines? thanks!

Mancini is selling OEM style aluminum replacements. Wizard Cooling and Smiths Radiator does too with integrated trans coolers. BeCool and most everyone else will require a change to crossflow and some additional adaptation for a 22" core support.

The core width of this summit unit is 22-3/8". The opening on a 22" core support.... You guessed it, 22-3/8".
Only issue here is the battery tray may interfere with the tank.
(One more reason to put the battery in the trunk)

www.radiatorbarn.com has both a 22" and a 26" radiator. It doesn't specify aluminum or otherwise though. They look like stock replacements.

I just read on another site that early 90's Ford Ranger radiators are supposed to fit the early Mopar cars with a 22" radiator and a drivers side lower outlet. I have yet to check one out, but it might be worth doing so.

I've seen some aluminum radiators on Ebay for around $200. I'm not sure if they are any good, though.

Wow the alumarad website has good prices. However I don't see a 22" radiator. Has anyone found one from them? I'd be interested in one. The last one I bought For the 63 Polara was on Ebay from radman who was out of the Detroit area I believe. Around $400 but the quality was excellent and the cooler was on the bottom where it is supposed to be.
