get an iron housing but you'd add the weight. have a rad shop solder an outlet on the other side if there's room. Someone has an alum housing w the inlet on the pass side. Diff rad but w it being near new if it fits well I'd want to keep it

What is the factory app that Mopar offers this drivers only oulet alum pump?If all the old cars were on the pass side why did they make this cast to the drivers side?

I can braze maybe i'll tackle it myself.Not a total loss just trying to understand the application.Thanks for the reply

Any 1972 thru 1972 B or E-body big block radiator will fit.



As far as I know NO radiator had the pass side lower inlet until about 1973 or 74 .

The only 1970 E-body V8 radiator with a pass side lower is small block

These are both pics of factory housings for 1970

If you want to keep your radiator 440 Source sells a passenger side outlet pump housing...

No i like the Mopar housing expecially after reading about the botched casting and quality of the china housing,thanks though.Ok my engine block is a 75 400 block so that explains the fact they may have built around the fact its a 400,and was a stock 400 in the car before it was a 451.Thanks for the info

I got a passenger side exit pump housing if you need it. I put it on and had the engine in before I realized what it was lol.
