Is there an after-market radiator for a 56 Coronet 315ci ?
I'd like to just be able to buy a replacement radiator from a web site that bolts right in.
If your car was a 56 Chevy, the answer would obviously be "YES!!"
However, the market for 56 Dodge aftermarket parts just isn't there. So I think the answer is "No. "
I had mine re-cored. About the same cost as an aftermarket rad - if one existed. Only took a couple of days.
With the stock 4 blade fan,
I was able to bolt it in by only re-drilling a couple of the mounting holes. Thr bottom of the blades are close to the bottom tank. but I then modified the flange later so I could move the radiator fwd enough to use a derale 6 blade fan. I also made a shroud but the shroud was made to fit the fan/radiator setup.
