hi Guys The radiators in this part of the world, that are still serviceable is getting few and far between - so we are more and more looking at aftermarket ones Flex-a-lite and so on is readily available over here at a lot less than having the copper rad re-cored - labor is very expensive over here So suggestions please - this is for my 68 FB \6 barracuda 74 Valiant Charger \6 aka 71 dodge demon |

See here. Whether it does you any good in RSA depends on whether you're willing to pay shipping! |

I got an inexpensive universal aluminum radiator from Speedway. Its for a chevy engine so the bottom outlet is on passenger side, top is driver side ( its a cross flow). Had a friend weld on flat tabs on both sides for the mounts. Drilled holes using the old radiator as a template. It sits a bit lower than the stock downflow. The bottom uses a stock hose but the top used a hose pulled from the parts store rack and cut to fit. Also need to change the neck to a straight one from a V8. Works great. |

The universal radiator plus hoses and friends help with welding was less that $200. Finished it looks as nice as Dans, except it flows the other way so it dose not look stock. |
