Nope - standard equipment in a 383 2-bbl or 4-bbl and a 440 auto (no A/C) in '69 was the 053 22" radiator.
Because you don't have an axle package... 3.23's got 22" radiators

I have a 22 inch opening but a 26 inch radiator is in it. So are they saying only 440-6 and hemi got the 26 inch radiators?

Factory rad., never gets hot. Had it out in 90+ degrees. Any hotter than that and I overheat.
Engine has higher than stock compression (185 cranking pressure).
465 hp, 512 torque, VP 110 octane. fuel.
