Anyone have an idea on a radiator that fits the Lbody and can handle cooling a larger engine that will fit into place without too much hassle?
A radiator with more cooling capacity to fit Lbody

I thought we talk about that when you were here. I running a rad out of 87 lebaron. It about as wide as you can get. It about another 5 inches wider core. Just have drill a new whole in the top and move the bottom mount over. Uses the same style mounts as the old one.

If you need a bigger rad than the Turbo1 Omni has you're doing something wrong. It has plenty of cooling capacity. Even the Turbo 2 rad should be plenty. Are all your shields in place to shove the air through the rad? Are you splash shiels in place on the inner fenders around the motor so as to not let high pressure air from the wheel wells into the engine bay?

trying to finish by Power Tour - Page 2 - Minnesota F-Body Club This is why. Thanks for the reminder speedy, I'll go to the upull yard and take a better look at one from a lebaron. That should be enough if it's another 5 inches.

Yeah, I was scrolling through the Jegs catalog lastnight and seen one that would fit 119.99 so Ill just order that. A new one for a lebaron isn't really any less. Sorry it's not a dodge engine anymore, but Chrysler never made a decent V6 and there's plenty of aftermarket support for the L67. Sure I coulda thrown a V8 in it like most people would do, but I didn't feel like hacking into the firewall or cutting into the core support to stuff it in there.
