OER Authorized aluminum Radiator

Did not have a overheating problem even at idle with the original radiator with Factory equipped fan shroud!!! It's just with over 400 Thousand miles on my old girl... The structural integrity of mostly the lower tank just Gave out and would cost more to keep fixing... ( I may fix it down the road at some time) I put the Factory shroud back on ONLY for the factory look... As the Original shroud is somewhat rare... Please note that in the attached photo to this message... That "same space" is there... Mother Mopar designed it that way... I'm not altering it's visual looks... Also note I did not cut or drill or modify the shroud in any way, other then changing out the factory attaching hard ware... As there was no way to use the original attaching clamps on the aluminum unit, that by the way is working very well... It's taking me way longer to even get up to operating temperature!!! Temps yesterday were over the 100 mark here...So, I'm Very pleased so far... But may paint the tank "black" and then most won't even know it's Not the Factory tank... But for now, having fun showing the aluminum color... Bring on 115 temps !!!!
Autoxcuda, thanks for your input though...⚓View attachment 1715052182

I'm not super familiar with the early A shrouds. But i do know they are rare and hard to find.

That aluminum radiator you have looks great! The cheap China Champion ones (i run one) look and fit lousy and forget about fitting the factory shroud.

I just saw you're in Phoenix and know how people struggle with cooling there.

Factory units can be improved if needed. Foam seal between shroud and radiator and between radiator and radiator support.

Also running water (reverse osmosis) and a good radiator additive cools better than antifreeze and water.

I use Justice Brothers brand Super Radiator Cooler in my 416 with aluminum: radiator, heads, intake, water pump. 2-3 years and clear with inside of radiator spotless.
