RE: {Chrysler 300} Radiator or core for my 300C



 Radiators



Skickat från min Galaxy
 When talking radiators & as Henry told finding a new heat exchanger to fit in the bottom tank is not easy. Sad and done i started hunting for a producer that could produce an concentric exchanger with maximum size and in/outlet same as the original. All in brass up to you if you want to solder it in place or use the special type hydraulic washers that came with it.  Fits Imperial & all with same bottom tank.
  Never sold one just as a gift to 300 friends.  I have some in stock and might get back in touch with producer for some more.

Thanks Michael

Similarly, I had my 300C re-cored here in Australia years ago by a local guy who specialises in vintage car radiators.  He found a correct sized 3 core but with a closer tube spacing (more of them).  This is as good as a  4 core as the effectiveness of the cooling drops the deeper the core gets.  The “problem” I had was the automatic fluid cooler tube had to be replaced and there was none the exact size,  He used one for a Ford Bronco which was close but needed some reworking of the bottom tank holes to fit.  Was expensive but well worth finding an expert used to doing one off jobs.

My local radiator shop did a 4-row conversion on my original 300C radiator, silver soldered a leak in the transmission fluid cooler, retained upper and lower tanks, pressure tested both the coolant and transmission fluid circuits (in a big tank to see bubbles) while I watched, and repainted everything nice semigloss black for $400.  However, that was 9 years ago, and I haven't inquired about current prices since then (no need).

hate to say it but aluminum universal works fine , ? paint black, i did not  ( please no rocks thrown ) ? 300 $ . Keep hood closed  

I did it , have to  get reducer hose sleeve  .

 

But i think going ahead  , the look bothers me ,too much  that was in 383 58 dodge 

 

going back to real . 

 

maybe out of this we find a real source for a new 4 row . Publish the prices . Glen ray was like 1000$ , but yes good stuff . , big vendor to mopar muscle guys 
Anyone under that $ new 4  row ? for real ? 

 

I found good prices at rock auto on 67 dart wide one copper for V8 maybe 300 , hit a close out . 

 

Apparently some problems with rebuilding ours now , tube dimensions of available cores changed ( China?) so old top and bottom mopar end plates under tanks  can’t be used over ?  Unless a lot of rework 

This issue made rebuilding Packard 37  radiator with a “modern core”  under old tanks  hit 2000 . They can make original look core by hand , over 3000$ l

Why new makes some sense looking ahead ?

  I recently had the original radiator recored for an L by GlenRay.  Great work and nice folks.  Not cheap… but it’s original and beautiful.  Carried it to Carlisle and picked it up at the Mopar Nats in Columbus.  I’d have no hesitations recommending them.

Hello Club Members,

 

I just started my rebuilt engine today. First time the engine ran in over 40 years since it was parked.  I was breaking in the camshaft and at the 20 minute mark, poof!, the radiator sprung two leaks!  What a mess that made.

 

Anyway, in my area, all the old school radiator repair shops have disappeared.  I’m looking for radiator repair shop that can replace the core or provide a good replacement.

 

Does anybody know where I can look?

 

Best Regards,

 

Warren Anderson
