Aluminum Radiator for 1968 Charger 440

They offer several different styles, in 26" & 22" configurations. 1 or 2 row radiators. The Exact-Fit line is designed to fit like stock. I have a 2-row 26" Exact-Fit, you might have interference installing a clutch fan however with a 1-row there should be no problems. They also offer built in tranny cooler fittings as well. Think of a stock looking radiator, only in aluminum. If painted black it could pass as a stock radiator to the casual observer.
Best to talk to them about your configuration or look at their online catalog. They are more expensive than Champion, but worth it IMHO.

Here's a shot of mine with the electric fan setup, I left it bare but polished it.

What's the CFM you're getting from your electric fans?

This is the fan setup from Flex-a-Lite: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-410/

It's rated for 2500 cfm. It is thermostatically controlled & also has a variable speed control, and is also sync'd with the A/C switch. Car runs nice & cool.

Nice. I have 3000cfm fan that can't even keep up with my little 318. I'm looking to upgrade radiators before I change motors. I had a Griffin on a different car that I built and really liked it. I didn't have the over heating issues then, but I felt like it was a great product.

another vote for griffin rad here too.  I have the exact same setup at Bill440rt and my car runs cool now.

Thank you all for the help and information.

Decided to go with the Wizard 2-core, 22", 1.25" tubes, metal fan shroud, with top inlet modified to be top-passenger side about 2" from the radiator fill point. Should be here 2-3 weeks as they custom-make the radiator. Wizard will be sending me a drawing for approval prior to fabrication.

I'll post updates in my '68 Charger upgrades thread (link below) when I receive the radiator. (Also have other upgrades to post such as installation of sub-frame connectors and torque boxes...).

Anybody try these from Auto City Classic.  I saw a display in Myrtle Beach the other weekend.  Looked pretty decent for the money.  2 row 1 1/8 tubes  Stamped top similar to stock

I love my 4 row champion       good product for the money 

Thank you for the input. I'll be checking out Champion's website.

How was the fit, did it bolt up into the stock mounting locations? Do you run a shroud?

I liked the fit and operation, on a performance 440  cant beat it  and the price is great.   I think for the most part it fits where the stock one goes,  if you using a mech fan then double check your clearance before buy any 4 row rad.
