Radiator for 350 ci
The 350 {95 good wrench 270 hp} needs more cool. What radiator from another year will swap into a 62?

Re: Radiator for 350 ci
The '60-'62 radiators mount directly to the radiator support unlike the '63-'66's which sit in a saddle. So the only exact fit will be a radiator for a '60-'62. I believe there is one of the ebay sellers of aluminum radiators that has them for the '60-'62's. If you are wanting to find a OEM radiator in a wrecking yard, that probably isn't going to happen. There are very few radiators from other vehicles that are narrow enough, and those were made back in the 60's. So they aren't likely to be found in a wrecking yard. The majority of the radiators you will find are either going to require fabrication to mount, are too wide to fit in between the inner fenders, or both.

Re: Radiator for 350 ci
Those that have access to a chrysler truck or car 360 powered say 1970 to 1985 ( specificly the volare )might be able to use those radiators as they were three row, mounted on the rad support. top left intake and bottom right output with trans cooler, they made them in several dimensions, its worth looking into if your on a tight budget and have access to a good used one.

Re: Radiator for 350 ci
Your stock radiator, if it is in good condition, should do an adequate job of cooling that motor. Maybe your trouble lies elsewhere. Do you have a fan shroud?

Re: Radiator for 350 ci
I have the same motor, I used the radiator (3 core) out of an 89' Camaro, cost me $60. At the local UPull-It, had it cleaned and checked for leaks, another $60. (I’m now in it $120.) and it works great keeps me at 180deg. mine is a street/hot rod so I'm not worried about the factory, or original look
