Engine swap 318 to 440, need rad.

Postby sheetster » 02 Sep 2007 15:28

My 318 w/ac has been yanked for a 73 RR 440 w/ac built for street use. My original radiator was stolen during disassembly of the car. Would I have any cooling issues putting in a rad from a 360 #3692925 (max cool) or even the #3692935? Open for recomendation. Thanks.

Mopar radiators come in two widths. Big and small. You need big. Which is a 26 inch version.
They can also come with thicker and thinner cores. You want thick.

So a 26 inch max cool is what you want.

For a 440 make sure that the top hose inlet is top right and the bottom hose outlet is bottom left.
Sometimes that are the other way around or on the same side on small blocks.
