Additional comment and pictures from NewportBoy after completeing his install. I used an Explorer radiator from a 1996 V-6 Explorer with heavy duty cooling. I bought a new one for about $160. The inlet hose is on the passenger's side (upper) and the outlet is on the driver's side (lower), just like my 440. I believe the Explorer V-8 radiator is too tall to fit. I had to purchase the Explorer upper hose and it fit perfect (correct diameter etc..) The lower stock Chrysler hose was retained (also correct diameter etc...) The cooler lines are both on the driver's side so my mechanic had to cut my trans cooler lines and add new ends that matched up with the new location. The Explorer radiator is aluminum core wih plastic tanks - I think it's 2 rows. The difference in cooling between this and my recored 26" radiator is night and day (aluminum much better). We cut my fan shroud to attach to the new radiator with a Dremel tool. I did have to drill new holes into the radiator yoke to mount the radiator and move the brake line that goes to the passenger's front wheel. The radiator is mounted in a 68 Newport convertible.
The passenger's side triangle bracket resting on a frame/bumper support.
New upper hose for an Explorer - perfect fit on the 440.
The same side upper tab bolted to the radiator yoke (drilled a hole).
View from the driver's side.
Driver's side. Tried to show how we notched the fan shroud and the hard line is one of the trans cooler lines.
View of the new trans cooler lines - both on driver's side.
Full installation from the front.
This photo shows how we cut the old trans lines and that the bottom of the radiator fit right on top of the existing bracket. Drilled 2 new holes.
I mounted an overflow tank from a mid-80's Chrysler auto in front of the battery.
Driver' s side lower triangle tab is not mounted to, or supported by anything. I didn't want to remove it.
Same side upper tab bolted to the yoke - drilled a hole.
