I have read many posts about using a mid '70s Dodge radiator in a F1. I also have researched the Dodge radiator to find out how many cores it has. All sources show two different radiators, a narrow and wide version. It's my assumption that the narrow radiator is the one that fits the F1. I can only find narrow ones that are two core. Is there a narrow unit that has three cores? A two core would probably suffice but I'd prefer a three core for the additional cooling potential.
My plans include a mild small block Chevy engine, T5 transmission, power steering and AC.

What are you trying to keep cool?

 

I am unable to put my hands on the information on my particular radiator at this moment but I'll keep looking. If you ask for a 75 Dodge pickup truck radiator with a 360 V8 application and A/C it should be a three row. They are all about 18x25 inches which will fit the F-1 radiator support easily enough and with little fabrication. The one for the V8 will have the inlets in the right place for a small block Chevy and certain Ford engines with the passenger side outlet water pump.

 

Like Vern I'm using the mid 70's Dodge truck radiator in my 49. In my case I'm using the radiator from a 3/4 ton Dodge truck, a D200 with a 440ci engine. The radiator is a three core.


I'm running a 500ci Caddy engine


Here's a link to a great catalog where you can look up different radiators and even see pics of them;
