Canadian Vs U.S. production

Hello everyone I'm a new guy and have a 69 Hemi Roadrunner. I was Just wondering what, if any, is the difference between a "B" body built for the Canadian market. I was told the only difference was the coolant in the radiator?

welcome..

I dont think there is any difference.. not like the 40s 50s and early 60s.. most early canadian built cars had a different engine cyl bore even though the cubic inches were the same..

I found that out with the canadian 55 dodge I owned.. the 6 was a different bore than the u.s made block.. then found out putting a 303 in it.. that was different as well..

as for coolant.. we use Kokanee from BC..

Welcome from Ohio, coolant? Maybe a little stronger mix for temps? Other than that, no difference.

Welcome to FBBO from sunny SoCal - we're practically neighbors. Don't have a clue if there's a difference. Are you going to bring that bad boy to Fall Fling in Van Nuys?

It is funny when you hear about a stronger antifreeze mix for Canadian built cars,,
I am a retired CDL driver for 40 years from Nome to Miami and everyplace in between and the coldest place was Devils Lake ND,USA. ,winter of 1996-97,,-50 below & 40 mph wind,,you do the math,,,we were shut down for days.Weather has NO BORDERS!West coast of Canada hardy ever gets below freezing,,time for some people to start traveling,,it,s a big world and sooo many nice places to see! CHEERS

Welcome,,,now we got the coolant thing settled,,,,Plymouths during the 30's,40''s,50's,and early 60's had a few changes,(two tone paint,SS trim, motors&different models),but by the late 60's,I believe they were the same, there may be some that know better.
