I have done a serch and have read many of your suggestions.

I went to my local rad guy and he said that he could take my rad from a slant 6 1975 duster and add a third line of tubing tawould be ok for my soon to be 360.

It occured to me that the inlet is perobably on the wrong side but someone said that could be relocated to the other side.

The car did not have a shroud when I go it.

I gather I should have either a pull or push fan with circuit that will turn it on at a specific temp..I think 180 was the number.

I should also go with a 180 degree thermostat as well..

All parts from summit ?

If I do go with another rad, I have a friend that is doing a body off resto...and yes, he did take the body off the frame..he said there there were chevy rads that will fit that you just have to drill holes..I have to anyway if I go with a bigger rad..anyone of this ?

Or if I buy a new rad, do any come woth a shroud ?

And is a shroud necessary with electric fans ?

Thanks

It would be much easier to get a 26 inch radiator, shroud, fan and fan clutch for a 318/340/360 A/C equipped car than to try to piece together a system that may or may not work.

Direct 75 Dart 360 replacement Rad. Part# 433499

Found it at AutoZone for $162.00.......Nice new fresh Rad...Cant beat that.
 
I see your in Canada,not sure what retailers you have there ?

You can google that part#,and see who can get it for you there. That AutoZone price would be hard to beat.

Then you can find the correct part# for a 75 shroud,and hunt it down.

I'm not a big fan of electric fans. I would work towards using a factory fixed fan,fan clutch ect.
 
I checked with my local NAPA..they list it but not with a price. Any folks elseware in canada..does your napa carry it ?

Canadian radiators does not carry it.

Now that I know, I will poke around locally to see what I can find.

Appreciate your help.
Ian.
 
The Rad is made by Proliance.

Proliance #433499

Rockauto has it, Summit, ........Do a search.

My Napa didnt list it,and I can almost guarantee it would be priced high there.
 
autozone lists it for 204.99 for my zip
