radiator for 68 charger

[Dakotaacres]

Old radiator has too many leaks. Quoted cost $600 to repair. I need a 22 inch radiator for my charger. As I search for a radiator I find none in a 22 that has a passenger side offset upper hose. Looking for suggestions?

What is your rad number, or do you just want any rad that fits that configuration. Is yours a 2 or 3 core.
Don’t know where exactly where you are. I can get a rad done for less than 600.00 Canadian. Good luck with your quest.

I think I have one or two, if want original, I need the number. Suggestion if the tanks aren’t leaking, get a new core.
We have successfully have had 22 inch 383 rads 3 cored in 67 Chargers. One non clutch and one clutch. No overheating issues in Kansas City 100 degrees in stop and go in 1993.
I think if there’s an over heating problem, look at the block flushing/cleaning.
If someone thinks they need electric fans, how did Chrysler ever survive?

Good to know thank you. I agree I don't need electric.

Correct #'s
2898043 = 383 w/manual
2898044 = 383-2barrel w/auto
2898045 = 383/440 -4 barrel w/auto

my old one 2898058. Is this correct?

That's why I looked up the numbers, I did't think the passenger side spout was correct for '68, but I may be wrong. An -058 radiator is listed as a 26" radiator for a '69 b Body with a 318 in it. I think the 26" is a typo and should be 22 for a 318, but if your rad is a 318 rad it would have the smaller lower inlet spout (compared to a BBlock rad). You still haven't told us what engine you have, or more specifically what engine the car was built with.

If you decide not to go the OEM route.

68 dodge charger. Do you think this radiator was changed?

Yes, because if you are reading the number correctly it's a 1969 radiator for a B body with a 318 in it. Yours should be an 043/44/45 pending which 383 and trans you have.
