I have a 69 Charger with a new 440 stroker 6-pack engine and automatic trans. I am getting closer to getting it ready to run in the car for the first time (broken in on a dyno), and want to make sure the new cooling system is up to the task.

The engine has a serpentine belt system on it, so I will be sticking with dual electric fans & shroud to go on a new radiator. The electrical system has been upgraded with a Power Master Alternator so no worry on power for the fans.

I have a generic aluminium radiator in the car as a placeholder, but leery of using a radiator of unknown quality on this new engine. Also want to make sure the inlet/outlet connections are correctly placed since I have seen new radiators with different locations for them.

So I am looking for a 26 inch radiator, for an automatic trans car, that can use a shroud with dual fans., and want to confirm outlet locations for a 1969 big block B-Body.

I used the Griffin on my 68 Charger and I’m also very satisfied with it. Fit perfectly and performs very well. I painted it black with Radiator paint snd looks almost stock aside from the tank numbers, tig welded neck. Very nice piece.

Cold Case 26 inch with dual electric fans on my 69 with a 528 Hemi and A/C. No problems for me.

ALWAYS here only good about Champions and Griffin. I really like Chargerfan68's up keeps it somewhat stock appearing.
