Ive heard of guys having good luck with them Champion radiators. Has various sizes and cores nice priced too. All over ebay and an ad here every so often.

hi the heads are the indy EZ and the headers are the TTI 2X3-1/2 ones. my best time is in my sig but i only made 4 passes before my 8-3/4 went boom.so i hope the car has more in it. thanks bobby
 
got another ? for anyone that can answer. I am running the indy ez-1 heads with roller rockers and ive been told that im gonna have a hard time with valve covers fitting because they will hit the heater motor. Anyone know anything about this i want the mopar performance black wrinkle vc's but dont want to order them and they not work

I just had Griffin build me a 26in. alum rad with 2 elec. fans for my '68 Dart. It's the largest that could fit in between the frame rails & the size coupled with the 1 1/2in tubes & a moderate fin-per-inch count, they said it ought to work just fine with a Milodon H.D. water pump & stock pulleys..
 
so the farther i get into this resto more problems! TTI headers was a pain to get them on and the only way to get them on was grind the steering box down 1/4 inch and drop the steering column out because apparently a column shift car has a collar on the steering shaft that comes out too far and hits the headers dont want to go to a floor shift because its a bench seat in the car.The floor shift cars do not have this collar! Any ideas?
 
I ran into same problem, took heater motor out and core . Saved about 25 lbs. Other then that you aren't going to fit these covers on . Oh one more thing. I covered the vent hole inside the car with a D/S vent siliconed on. So I don't have air blowing in all the time , worked perfect. Now pass. side has a manuel door like drivers side. Hope this helped ya out.
 
Ok cool I just ordered the same one today from summit, hoping I will cool my 440 , sounds like a good unit for the price. Thanks!
