Plymouth radiator in 54 f100



Out of a 72 Plymouth Satellite. If it could keep the 440 cool it will have no problem with my 305.

Looks like it should work fine. If that's the final placement of your engine you're definitely going to need a shroud. Perhaps the picture is misleading but it looks like there may be 6 inches or so between the fan and radiator. That's a lot of space...

Or maybe an electric fan with a shroud?

Will have the shroud put on when I get the right water pump. It is the original 54 shroud that came with granddads truck. So it looks kinda vintage...with a flex fan...

I used the original shroud with a modern rad in my panel; looked vintage cool.

Not sure he'll need a fan with that radiator and a 305. That looks like the four core I had on my old 440 Challenger.
