Has anyone found a radiator in the bone yard that will fit a b-body and cool a 440? (Out of Ram, Durango, Charger, 300, or Jeep, etc)
 
Well, in the old days we would look for an early 70's (69 on ) new yorker or Imperial.... they ALL had 440's and AC and 26" cores, and they will all bolt into the smaller body styles. Couple things to keep in mind tho, Chrysler had trouble keeping those big boats cool, and you might too, especially if you need to open up the core support and havent done so yet. Also, shrouds and the rubber shields that direct air into the core support are very important. I assume you are on a budget, but depending on what you are building, you may want to look to a better aluminum direct fit with fans by Griffin or similar.

You can buy a new aluminum radiator for it pretty cheap if you look hard enough.
 
I have a 26 inch aluminum off of eBay myself, it was $145 and I got it best offer for $128 shipped and it has a 5 year warranty. So far its a year old and performs perfectly, 192° all day long in 90* weather. Is a direct fit. Had some issues at first then ordered a shroud off of eBay also, and no trouble since I put it on
