I need both a Radiator and a Clutch.
1976 Dart, slant six.

Radiator yoke pattern is 22 wide, 14 tall, bolt hole to bolt hole.
Upper hose is center or left and left bottom.

I need a clutch also.
Brewer used to offer a package, but now you have to buy a flywheel with a GM pattern.
I guess that is ok, but cost goes way up.
I don't want a RockAuto replace every year unit.

Ideas on either are welcome.
Thanks!

Check the dimensions. This might work for you.

RA usually has a few to pick from.
I have never had a problem with LuK clutch which ive gotten several from them
The one brand I have had problems with and their name is (for lack of a better way to put it) a lie....
That brand is "perfection"... In reality they're far from that.

I like Champion radiators and they should have one for you. I bought one for my 68 Dart. Very high quality.

Rock Auto has a 10 inch clutch with a picture that says Bork and Beck.
That one could have springs added to make a serious clutch.
If you get what they show.

Check with Falcon Clutch
https://www.falconauto.com/

I am sure he can build what you need.

He resurfaced some pp's for me and refaced used / worn out clutch discs.

Champion Radiator has a rad for your car. It will be AL and not look correct.

Radiator, see here. This goes along with your stated philosophy of not wanting to buy junk.

Borg and beck is the design not the brand. And there's a lot of leeway within that
The other choice vs Borg and beck is a diaphragm clutch.
Loo it's of companies make Borg and beck style clutches. And alot of companies make diaphragm clutches.

Stan, Some company just built some good clutches for the slant 6 just a couple years ago. They made dual disc and everything. Cant remember who it was but Ryan got one so I can find it for you. Someone on here should remember who it was.

Just remembered- It was RAM. Call and ask them what they got! :D

That ebay company sent me a 10 dollar off deal on the rad.
It was $100 dollars cheaper than the Champion one I looked up.
And Dan, that one you did is nice, but expensive when you had it done years ago.
Looks like I will be getting the Champion when they send me the mounting measurements.
Hard to understand why they don't have simple info on the web site?

As far as the clutch I have found a good used Weber 9 inch clutch for a good price.
Going to see how that feels, I have been told it had high pedal effort.

If it has a higher than stock pedal effort, you may want to consider torque shaft /z bar reinforcement to prevent failures later during use.
