In the process of getting all of the pieces to start the process of assembling the 65 Dodge Coronet I am building when it comes back from the paint shop.
The engine is a stroked 440 (513) with TF heads and manifold (probably). I am not going to play with cooling issues so I am going to use an aluminum unit that is as stock looking as possible, a Flowcooler pump, and a quality thermostat.
To that end, I am looking for recommendations I have looked at the US Radiator stuff and like them but the price is up there. If it is the best choice so be it but I have found that the most expensive is not always the best or only option. If you have real world experience, I would love to hear it.

I'm running a BeCool in my 65' Belvedere bbm. No problems. But expensive

I am using one on my 69 B body from Autocity on ebay. The style is dead on oem, shroud fits without modification, I really like mine.
Here is a link. Search though their ebay store or contact them for specifics. What is your inlet / outlet setup?

i grabbed a coldcase alum radiator from a FBBO sponsor for my 71 charger. it fit perfect, was not expensive at all and with some black paint would look nearly stock. @Ccas is a good dude to connect with on here to get more info, he will definitely help you out

I have a ECP and don't recommend it. Go with threewood's recommendation or cold case.

As far as inflow/outflow I still have the option of same or cross side because I haven't bought a housing yet but I am leaning towards drivers side in, passenger side out
