Advice needed for choosing Replacement Radiator (70 Coronet R/T)

[Derwud]

wow..... unless they've made some changes to the mounting, it's 3/8ths of an inch too narrow to line up with the OE bolts.

What is this OE you speak of?

You're car looks pretty badass, and it's OE ponies have received a major upgrade

but here's where it's too narrow:

I put that in my Charger. Have not run it yet. It needed very minor trimming to bolt in. 3 out of 4 bolts lined up one did not. I also had modified my core support to accept the 26 inch radiator. The one thing I did not like is the lower hose size bung. They make them at 1.650 where I believe they should be 1.750. The hose tightens up but it just seems like a detail they should address. The upper hose fit just like it should.

Which Serpentine kit are you using and how close is the water pump pulley?

Its a custom made serpentine not a marketed kit. About 1/2 inch from water pump pulley. Just guessing. I can measure if you want.
