Re: Radiator requirement



MY 64 POLARA 318 POLY WAS RUNNING ALITTLE HOT AND I ADDED a flow kool water pump #1701 from summit,made alittle better,then a clutch fan and shroud with no clearance issue with stock 2 core rad..the clutch takes out the same as the fan spacer,also got the rubber seal that goes on top of rad support to close up that space. have to pull that air through rad as much as possible.

 Thank you all for your input. It gives me several things to
consider.  I would like to use a 7 blade fan and clutch, but it
appears that would neccitate a 2 core radiator for clearance. .  I
would like to use a 3 core copper, but then would probably have to use
a different fan set up. Maybe I should use a 2 core aluminum since
they are available looking like stock.

 Paul, what sealer are you using on that exhaust manifold stud?  Mopar
sells a sealer that has Mopar  label on it and is black in color. It
dries to a rubber like consistancy rather than silicone.  I really
like it and will probably never use silicone
