Moving Radiator

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has moved there radiator in front of the rad support and just behind the Grill. I have a 74 Dart Sport and have been thinking of doing this for a few years to free up some space.

What say you and share pics if you have them

No personal, but you're shifting a lot of weight in the wrong direction.

I agree, when possible I lower and move rearward any of mine that I can, I am not a wheelstander.

I usually leave the line wheels up so I'd do it if I needed to but have plenty of room and street car, no problem I see........... How much are we really talking here anyhow..........

I have on my old Valiant.. was a destroked
383.. worked out great with a tube chassis
but try to look at where the weight will
be in the end

there's been mention of a Hayden short fan assy (I forget the #). the legs on a BB pump can be milled. the "cross" on the WP can be pressed rearward a bit to move the pulley rearward along with buttonhead pump mounting bolts. The hardest part will be locating the correct depth pulleys to restore belt alignment. maybe even a rad with less cores (or just thinner) & a wider one to restore cooling capacity & "area" is more important than cores & it is for sure easier to expand clearances out sideways against the frame rails for more area.

On my 73 dart with a big block, motor plate, mezeire pump and HHR fan with aluminum radiator I had to do some cutting on my core support to gain about an inch of room.

Big aluminum Radiator. Engine plate, the Big GPM mezeire. Brothers ran out of room on the Ruster Duster. They were also in a hurry, so it wasn't pretty.
