Larger core support or trim existing

[rjbsj]

I have a 69 Coronet 440 that came with the 318 engine. In the process of stripping the car down to make a super Bee clone. Obviously it had the original radiator and core support for the smaller radiator. I will be putting a 440 motor in the car and I’m sure it will need a larger radiator. The opening in the core Support looks mighty small for what I would assume needs to have a larger opening for a larger radiator. Am I looking at this wrong? Can I simply trim out the existing core support for a larger radiator opening or does AMD or someone make larger opening core supports? Thanks

A lot of 440 b bodies came with a 22” rad I believe. If a 22” rad is three cored, it should work well. Take a drive here and you can get a 67 factory 26” complete rad assembly.

non A/C 440 auto Bs came with 22 in rad

Thank you, guess my memory still functions in some areas.

all years/models is certainly not my field of expertise, I guess my point was Mopar built 440 auto cars such as my GTX with 22 in radiators; therefore running a 26 probably isnt necessary, unless maybe with a big increase in horse power
