When it hits 100 degrees, that extra quart of water, and the extra open air surface amounts to a lot of extra cooling. Open up the rad surround and mount up that 26" rad, or stuff a thick aluminum rad in the 22" opening. Gene
Well it dam gets 100 hear. Don't want to cut my core support, so looking at Mark 7 rads, alum, large tubes & offers black anodize. Thanks Mark

I've done 2 cars with 22 inch rads/openings to 26 and no cutting involved. I bought champion rads and they have the mounts already on it so all's I did was mount the rad on the existing driver's side bolts,level the rad and drill holes where needed on the passenger side. The entire opening is exposed for air and a 1970 26 inch shroud for Roadrunner,bought at a local chrysler dealer, mounted perfectly to the mounting holes on the rad. This was done on a 67 r/t and a 67 GTX. The tranny lines are extremely close but I used different fittings.
My core support hole is 22 1/2" by 18 1/2". I just wondered if the 4" that's covered on a 26" would still cool better than a 22". Thanks Mark

There are ZERO factory '67 440 b-bodies with 22" radiators.  Clones?

No, you claimed to have had a 67 GTX with a 383 that you swapped a 440 into and that it had a 22" radiator, factory..
GTX was a clone...as The R/T...but what is the difference when talking about a 66..that's the subject...I used examples to show it's easy to swap a 26 in and don't need to cut the opening....as a side note...the only tell on either of my cars was the vin and the rad opening...everything else was done

Wow guys is it a full moon. Starting to sound like general. I just wondered if an alum big tube 22" rad would do the job? Didn't mean to  Thanks Mark
