Put a Champion 526 radiator in a 71 swinger?
OK so Im very slow at posting, navigating the site, etc.
I keep getting the message that my post has expired. I must be taking too long. So Im posting this in intervals.
I am not sure if my 71 swinger measures out the same as a Duster or a pre 70's dart but I definitely would like to go with the 26" radiator if possible.
See pictures above:
1) I have 28 1/4 inches between the inner finder skirts.
2) Or I need the bracket to start at least 6 3/4" above the bottom of the radiator. To clear the fender skirts.
Could someone measure theirs for me? I would be grateful. I messed around with fans and pulleys I had in the garage. My slant 6 radiator is actually 4" thick at the bracket and nearly flush at the fan side. I have 1 1/4 inches between the fan and the radiator now. Champion lists the 3 row as 2 1/2" at the core and 2 3/4" at the tank. They look thicker in the pictures, but if even close I should have no problem there. They look nice in your cars. your cars are nice enough that if they were not good looking radiators they would stand out like a sore thumb, LOL. The nicer your car gets the more everything else stands out on it.
