3.55 Suregrip
Doug's Headers
Needs to be new radiator

If you have the money i would not consider anything else. I installed one in my car and its great!
I never experienced better customer service aswell.

I would look at Wizard Cooling domestic and really good quality. Pricing about 600.00 for an excellent radiator.

I have Glen Ray in all my cars. They are great imo, but like stated above, are not cheap. I have never used one, but several guys on here have had good luck with this place on Ebay. They sell several different varieties.

I have the same car, engine, trans...everything.
Was looking at this Glenray Rad but was concerned with the location of the top hose outlet...Needs to be more central in the tank rather than at the edge.
I know these rads will work great just that i had a bad time with Cold Case and trying not to go down the same path again.

Glenray = Factory Specs.
So the connecting locations should be in the right place unless you relocate them on your engine.
My car is stock so it fit like a glove. I did not even have to massage it.

Call GlenRay and talk to them. If the outlet needs to be moved they can likely do that.
If you have a radiator with the correct upper and lower tanks, Glenray can repair the tanks, and put them on a new Max Cooling core.
The re-core radiator was quite a bit less expensive than the Licensed Reproduction radiators.

On the aluminum radiators, look for something with the larger (but less) cores.
The Griffin Exact fit are good, but almost as expensive as the GlenRay radiator.

Either this or the factory radiator. Period.

Can you post a pic of your rad and hose locations. May be your radiator model number.
I have ordered 6 rad hosed from Rock Auto but having little luck finding the correct one.
Bought 2 71 B's in boxes so the only reference i have is my 68 Charger BB but that may not be correct.

Glen Ray products are the way to go. They offer a standard radiator and a MAX COOLING radiator....the best thing to do is call them and talk with Bob. They can configure the rad to suit your application. Not inexpensive but absolutely the best....guaranteed forever....can supply date coded if this is what you want. A #2998956 radiator for my RS23V0A****** GTX, with date code and the MAX COOLING CORE with shipping was ~ $ 1400.....IMO worth the price.

I have one in my GTX and it has been perfect, even in AZ summers. Cools great, looks stock, and the shroud mounts are spot on. If money is no object, get the Glen Ray. If you have a budget, get the aluminum one from Autocity.
