Hi guys, I need a advice to choose right radiator for my hemi, I want to run it cool as possible in traffic. Thank you.
Specs
68 charger
426(472) 850 carb.
727 trans
 
Wizzard 3 row aluminum, make sure pump vanes are within .065 to back of housing. Use a Milodon Thermostat. Install a bleed petcock in block and also in top of Water pummmp. Clutch fan, with shroud. Blade edges must be 3/4 inside shroud and no more than 1/2 gap between blades and circumfriance of shroud opening. Skip all electric fans, make sure you have gaskets around underside of radiator to radiator support and top of Support to radiator.
 
Glenray is fan-freaking-tastic. I had a really nice 4 row aluminum (brand name withheld, but I paid $$$ for it and the fans) and my 440 always ran hot. The Glenray has been outstanding and I couldn't recommend it more than any other product I've used for a Mopar!
 
We've been a sponsor since the Winter and would like to offer B-Body members a special price to try out our products and report back here on the Forums. If you are interested, shoot me a PM or e-mail.

I went with a US radiators 4 row triple pass copper brass, Glen Ray actually spec'd it out for me but wasn't interested in building it. I had to order it through Classic Industries once I got the part number from US Radiators...it going in my 68 with a 572 hemi. Tim
 
Get ahold of Bob at Glenray. He will build you a factory appearing unit that will run cool.
 
I do have a used for less than one summer 4-core that fits a 66-70 B-Body copper/brass if you're interested.

Our radiators are Polished, stamped tank all aluminum, lifetime warranty and 60 day cool guarantee and retail for $369 on our website. Shoot me a PM with your application. Year, model, Engine size, HP, Inlet/outlet configuration, AT/MT and whether you plan on using your original fan and shroud or if you want to go with electric fan/shroud kit. If we have a good match, I'd like to offer a couple of Forums members special pricing so you can report back to the members your experience with Cold Case.

Thanks Chris,I would be interested in a better,skinnier,lighter double fan.I have a pair of pushers due to lack of spce between the lower blower pulley and the radiator.
