I have a 76 Chrysler Industrial 225 engine. Looking for Rad. Number on mine is Mopar 2407666. Thanks for any help

Very doubtful you'll find anything like an exact replacement. If you take some measurements of the core height, thickness and width, bracket width on left and right side, whether core protrudes from front or back of brackets, location and diameter of upper and lower hose connections, and horizontal and vertical centre-to-centre on the four mounting bolts, an adaptable ready-made radiator of one kind or another might become recommendable. Is yours too far gone to save with even a recore? I'm guessing yours has a round-top upper tank; those are challenging for even a good radiator man to put together for long-term leak resistance. Also guessing (correct?) that you care less what the new rad looks like than how well it works.

To SlantSixDan
Thanks for info. I wonder if anyone online has a catalog that lists sizes of rads.

Where are you located?

The farmer may still have the swather radiators from the units he's scrapping out.

I looked at them when picking up the engines. They are similar to many stationary applications I've seen.

I could check with him about those.

I use an aluminum Champion radiator in my Dart. I'm sure they must be built in China, but they seem like they're built well, no plastic, all metal, decent welds. They list several car/truck sizes even back into the 40's and 50's - perhaps there is a cross reference to an industrial 225 somewhere else that might help. They kind of look industrial to me...

They list sizes and inlet/outlet locations pretty well:

Post subject:  question

What was the slant used for industrially, what equipment/brand?

Detroit Radiator has a pretty decent selection of industrial and agricultural radiators. See:

Older Yale forklifts I know used them. I used to drive one for my job.

A bit far for shipping a used radiator. Hope you find something that works close by.

The giant hydraulic car crusher at the wrecking yard I briefly worked at had a slant-6 engine.

Wow so you literally could crush Fords, Chevy's and foreign cars with your slant six....must have been gratifying..

Post subject:  Great storytime with Dan!

I read your storytime post with great interest, Dan, I was riveted...

Also, I've never seen a pick and pull that huge! I think the last time I went to one had to be over 25 years ago, and it was pretty small.

I did score an awesome set of 2001 Sebring seats, charcoal leather, and the control module from a 1999, for $200 bucks at a yard in SF a few years ago for my Dart, but they did all the pulling. I was only allowed to inspect them first. I cleaned them up but I haven't installed them yet (so many projects, so little time).

I met a "snowbird" from Canada, today. He was in the Canadian Air Force, and said all their powerplants had slant six engines.
