Direct fit aluminum radiator

[Dodge500]

In case anyone is interested, the Wizard 62-65 Dodge direct fit aluminum radiators are not really direct fit, especially for a 63 Dodge Polara. I tried to install the first one sent to me and my hood hit the fill cap because the radiator sat too high. Not only did it sit too high using the stock location, the radiator itself is too high for the space allotted for the stock radiator. After complaining they sent me a new one that met my dimensions but it still needed modifications to fit.

The Champion aluminum radiators aren't "direct fit" either FYI

I used this one for my 62. The one passenger, lower bolt isn't where it should be for a 62 but everything else is good. 2375s

I checked the Griffin site and there is no direct fit radiator for a 63 Dodge. They only list Plymouths.

petty sure 62-65 dodge plymouth are the same

You would think the manufacturers would then list both. Wizard only lists Dodges and Griffin only lists Plymouths. All I know is I had a heck of a time installing my Wizard and it just doesn't look right sitting in my car.

Thanks for the information but it's installed. As long as it keeps my temps down I won't complain.
