Wow this is tough man and I'm sorry for you. My dad had to be the POA for my Grandmother and it nearly destroyed him and over the last nine years of her life cost about $1M. Keep in mind you're getting advice from all over the country on this forum and different states have different laws and...

The New Rad won't fit in the car. The one that was in it is now being re-cored. I guess the issue all along was that they were looking for a part of the Rad that was in my garage all along...

I wish it were fake...

Damn!!!!! Just saw this post!!!! Thank You!!!!:thankyou:

In his defense, he's done me right on all my other cars and I did initially tell him I wasn't in a hurry because it was the beginning of summer and my income usually goes down a little in the summer months and I wasn't in that big of a hurry to drive a black car with no AC in the Midwest...

Not as many Speed Shops as you'd think...

Very true, water pump housing aside the radiator issues still need addressed as well. But if I can't make a good radiator fit it still won't work.

I was thinking a new water pump housing would alleviate the issue with the radiator fitting. The Rad I have has both hose ports on the right side but every Rad I see for sale has the upper port on the left. A member on DC.com said that the New Yorker and Charger have different water pumps even...

The radiator was problematic last time it ran, it was overheating that was where the problem started. Someone else on another forum said the Water pump on a new Yorker is different from the one on a Charger. Could changing the water pump fix this?

If I have to get it home and deal with it I can but I would at least get it there under it's own power. My driveway is at an incline and my garage doors aren't very wide, and while the shops may be losing the ability to work on these cars I'm no expert either.

The shop that's had the car for the last year went to a radiator shop and I guess they struck out, I called another guy who kept talking over me when I tried to explain the 383/440 situation but he did say he can make it work. When I talked to the shop again they said they already talked to...

I just called GlenRay their "mopar guy" won't be in until 2PM but I'll for sure be calling them again. I'm more worried about functionality than looks or originality but if it's the last radiator I'll ever need than the cost may be worth it.

Ok so I bought my 70 Charger in 2010. It was born with a 383 2BBL and the previous owner replaced the 383 with a 440 from a 75 New Yorker. After owning the car for several years it started to overheat so I bought a radiator from Be Cool and tried to replace it my self but didn't have the space...

Thanks, for posting this. I'm about to jump on a VHX for my 70 Charger.
